I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords
from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del).
I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100.
I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from
a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1),
I see these lines:

mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1
Changing local password for testuser1
New Password: (entering the password)
Retype New Password: (entering it again)

>From that i guess the expression in the chat would be:
*Changing*local*password*for* %u\n *New*Password* %n\n
*Retype*New*Password* %n\n
(...)
And again something is completely wrong, I see.

As I said, I am far from confident with the syntax/mecanism here. So I
would really appreciate some more explicit help. I have tried to
modify the chat by removing the trailing "*" or by putting the
expressions into double quotes - but with no luck.
Again, what is going on in the console is exactely what I wrote above.
What would then be tbe correct chat?

Your problem is not the trailing *, you can't use %u.
Its just strings with wildcards, "WATCH THIS" send this "WATCH THIS" send this.

I think that even if you do that "C*:" it works as you have only one C and only one : before the first iteration. It matches anything in the middle, Cblablablablablablablab\nlablabla blablablabla:

passwd chat = "Changing local password for*\nNew Password*" %n\n "*Retype New Password*" %n\n

Have you ever used regular expressions? This is a hundred times simpler :)
Its a sintax based on a unix program called "expect" that is used in automation. It feeds command line programs that doesn't accept options.
