Re: [Samba] pdc
What does the script looks like that creates the machine accounts? Sounds like the machine account isn't getting created quite right. It might be okay enough for 2k but not xp?

Re: [Samba] password syncing
The easiest way I know is to write a script and put it in your system-wide .bashrc file. So when someone types in passwd it changes both the unix password and the samba password. I haven't done that yet but it is recommended in the Samba Unleashed book.

Re: [Samba] RE: Need information
Yeah, Samba can replace an NT/2K/XP file and print server pretty easy. There are a gazillion functions that can get it to act as a PDC. Currently I have one running in a shop of 10 Windows workstations without a hitch...

I used SAMBA as a UNIX admin at Ford motor, and loved this utility. I made mention of it in a current meeting as something we need to look at for doing remote imaging within our network. What I was not sure of is it mainly a UNIX based utility or can it be used in our environment? We have some UNIX servers but they are for security, and I would love to change there systems from windows to UNIX can you give me some info. Thank you for your time.

[Samba] Samba password aging w/win98 Clients
Hello all. Thanks so much with the assistance people provided with helping me set up a pdc, and giving me the hints to be able to change my smbpasswd and have it sync with the passwd file, from the win98 client. Now I need to figure out how to enforce password aging so people will change their passwords, and be prompted at the win98 client to do so. Here is what happens now. When the unix password expires, the win98 client user can still log into the domain, it looks like because the smbpasswd does not expire. Any other function that requires the unix passwd (mail, ssh) does not work of course. Here is my chat line in the smb.conf: passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n unix password sync = Yes This part works fine. When the smbpasswd is changed the unix passwd is changed as well. Is there any way to have them expire at the same time as well and a prompt sent out to the win98 clients so they know to change the password? Thanks in advance everyone!
