Hi all,
I've been working (hard) on password sync (with NIS) here and
it's now ready to roll. However, there's a problem.
If I use '% smbpasswd -r nnpdc' from the UNIX command line, then the
password
change program runs as root and the NIS gets updated.
If I use 'c:\> net password \\nnpdc' (from an Win98 box) then the
password
change program runs as the user (proved by having the program (which is a
script) spit out an 'id -a' and also the temp files it creates
aren't
root-owned). This fails (spectacularly) to update the NIS password.
Huh?
The log file at the point where the password change program is forked
off shows:-
[2002/03/15 10:46:19, 3, pid=13220] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(428)
Dochild for user dmccann (uid=0,gid=0)
[2002/03/15 10:46:19, 10, pid=13220] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(209)
Invoking '/usr/local/bin/ypzapnpasswd dmccann' as password change
program.
and yet the log file that script produces shows:-
# head ypzapnpasswd13220.ENV
id -a >&2
+ id -a
+ 1>& 2
uid=1110(dmccann) gid=100(Informatics) groups=100(Informatics)
(the shell script is running with -x-v for debugging purposes)
Muchly puzzled.
I'm running with a log level of 100 (I thought it might be (another)
password chat problem....), so I really don't know what else to look for.
Help!
