System Fedora Core 4/SeLinuxSecurity disabled
SAMBA 3.0.20 unix password sync=yes passwd backend smbpasswd
Problem - Users logged into XP pro cannot change password
Detail:
When a user tries to change their password they get the error message:
"You do not have permission to change your password". However - the
Linux password is changed and the SAMBA password is not.
logging in to Fedora as root and invoking passwd and smbpasswd for the
user returns no errors
su 'username' and repeating the process (with good password given)
passwd - okay smbpasswd - "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password
change: "Error was: RAP86: The specified password is invalid." The only
difference if you use a bad password - passwd won't allow the change either.
So my conclusion thus far is that passwd is being invoked as root but
smbpasswd is being invoked as the logged in user and refuses the
password change.
However, I have no idea what to do now and I cannot set unix passwd sync
= no (even though that "fixes" it) - Please help
