Depends on your settings; usually Samba will set both passwords or use exop which should set both passwords. Note - I haven't bothered to look at the Wikis you mentioned. If you want to setup Samba you should do so using the Samba documentation. > > When i su <winusername> it is not accepting the win password. > > I also tried editing the unix password via ldap-account-manager but also > > with no luck. > > Is a unix password set in general when creating new accounts?

Have no idea about your migration script but yes; we can su <username> in our Samba-PDC/LDAP environment. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/ Use the official documentation, except no substitutes, and don't use Wikis.

This is a setting in your user add scripts (I'd assume). -- Adam Tauno Williams, Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
