[Samba] Windows 2000 password change with smbpasswd - login problem
Hello, Any ideas on this one ? Hopefully not being too pesky ? :) --- Hi guys, How are you ? My setup is as follows: Samba-3.0.0 PDC on a Slackware-9.0 box, with mixed N.T. and Windows 2000 clients. Everything has been running perfectly for months however now, it seems I've picked up a bit of a weird problem when changing a users password via smbpasswd. This problem only appears to affect users who log onto the Samba domain using a Windows 2000 PC. i.e If I change a password for an N.T. 4.0 user the user merely has to log out of N.T. and log back on with his new password, everything works perfectly. If I change a password for a Windows 2000 user, the user logs off Windows 2000, tries to login again, but receives and incorrect username/password error. Ever come across this before ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's largest free shell provider.

This is a longshot, but maybe the Win2K box is caching the old password and it sees that the new one doesn't match before it even tries to authenticate against the PDC. Can you restart the Win2K machine and have the new password work? -- Andrew Gaffney -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

This works perfectly here!

Hi Andre, Thanks for your reply. Yes, apparently this does work. Any ideas why it doesn't work with smbpasswd ? Is there another way to work around this other than using ctrl+alt+del ? Thank you for your assistance so far. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za [EMAIL PROTECTED] LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's shell provider.
