Hello
We have a FreeBSD server (7.0 BETA3) running as PDC (Samba 3.0.28) passwords
stored in tdbsam. Theres are no problems for users and machines to log on to
the network as long as they use the passwords I have made by smbpasswd -a
username. But I cannot make a working configuration which allows users to
change their own passwords on the server. They are told something like "You
do not have permission to change your password". I guess the problem is the
communication between Samba and the server, the passwd chat, but I'm not
sure. I have the following lines in smb.conf
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
unix password sync = Yes
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*passwordn* %n\n
Might want to try:
passwd chat = *Old*Password* %n\n *New*Password* %n\n
*Retype*New*Password* %n\n
The password command is called as root, I believe that one of the
requirements is that it does not prompt for the old password since samba
will have no idea what the old password was.
If you enable passwd chat debugging (and maybe up the log level) you
should be able to see exactly what is sent and recieved by samba/passwd.
