Please ignore my colossal stupidity - I had an extra '%n' at the end of
the chat string!!!
Apologies all...
Hi,
Following an upgrade to 3.0.23, it appears that my UNIX password
sync/chat is no longer working (although I can't confirm it wasn't
broken in 3.0.21, it was working before). The XP clients throw up a
"no permission to change password" error when the users attempt to
renew passwords. I've carefully checked my password chat script and
it appears to be OK. The logs files show:
<snip>
.
[2006/08/11 12:26:14, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(462)
chgpasswd: Password change (as_root=Yes) for user: tester
[2006/08/11 12:26:14, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(105)

chat_with_program: Cannot Allocate pty for password change: tester
.
</snip>
relevant portion of smb.conf is:
<snip>
passdb backend = tdbsam
passwd program = /root/smbpass.sh %u
passwd chat = *Password* %n\n *Password* %n\n *Changed* %n\n
passwd chat debug = yes
unix password sync = Yes
username map = /usr/local/etc/samba/smbusers
</snip>
I've tried to simplify my password chat script to the simplest
possible variation for test purposes:
#!/bin/sh
/usr/bin/passwd -l $1
echo "Password Changed"
Thanks in advance...
Rob
