Hi All,

I have a Samba system I fire up once in a blue moon for testing, and had a bit of a minor heart attack when it "suddenly" stopped letting me access shares as anyone other than root. Security is set to "user" since it's not a domain member server. My office requires that passwords get changed every 90 days, and the last time I accessed the server was on the other side of one of these "90-day" boundries. I realized this after I increased the Samba logging level and it was telling me it at least recognized my username. So, it must of hated my password. I used smbpasswd -U as root to reset my user password. Suddenly I can get in.

Now, one small question, is there a tool that lets me automatically sync my samba password with the password on the same Unix box? Or am I doomed to have to change it manually every 90 days as well. (It's only one more place to change my password...)

Thanks,

Brian
