Hi Scott, Thanks for the tip. Apparently in Mandriva /dev/pts is mounted by udev on the fly. Mandriva 2006 notes the following: for udev-068-34mdk.i586 - remaining bug is lack of /dev/ptmx support in PAM So apparently /dev/pty never gets created when /usr/bin/passwd gets called from samba. Setting unix password sync = no enables windows users to change their password from windoze. This is what we're going with now, as windoze users never log onto Linux boxen.
