Thanks for the reply. That is the impression that I was getting too.
So as an alternative to no domains, I figure I will create a domain but
not join any machines to that domain.

if you press ctrl-alt-del on a machine that's not part of a domain,
all you can change is the local password.
if you want your users to be able to change their server-side
password, you have to join the machine to the domain.
What I have done is on the XP pro workstation (non domain member) I press
ctrl-alt-del then change password then I select:
User name: (test user on PDC)
log on to: (manually enter netbios name of the PDC)
old password: xx
new password: xx
confirm new password: xx
and the password changes on the PDC. I would like to be able to do the
same with the PDC instead of being a windows box, I would like it to be
samba. So far my attempts have failed and was wondering if anyone has
achieved this.
OK it works with 3.0.2a so the problem I had was with the version that I
was using 2.2.7.
As a test I have setup a windows domain with a share. Then mapped a non
domain member machine to that domain's share. I was able to ctrl-alt-del
and change the password.
So now I have been trying replicate this with samba. So far already
tried this with 2.2.7 and didn't work. So now I'am going to try it with
3.0.2a.

Currently I'am using samba for file sharing. My smb.conf file is basically
setup as default with a few minor changes. Therefore, my samba server is
not part of a domain. Right now users can map the samba shares with
windows XP... With this type of setup is it possible for them to change
there smbpasswd using ctrl-alt-del? If so any examples or hints on how
to set this up would be great.
I have tried a few things and the only way I can get this to work is to
make my samba server a PDC and have the workstations join the domain.
afaik, that's the only way to do it. if a machine is not a domain
member, ctrl-alt-del changes the local password, and there is no way
around that.
The
version of samba I'am using is 2.2.7a.
Thanks
