Hello all! We recently upgraded from Samba 2.2.3 to Samba 2.999+3.0.alpha20-3 on debian 3.0. Ever since then users are unable to change their own passwords on their W2k machine. What happens is when they try to change it a process (passwd) gets stuck with the users name. The only way to fix this is to kill the passwd process the user started. I haven't changed the "passwd chat" script at all and it worked in 2.2.3. I use the following command: passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . I've checked the logs but find nothing relevant to my eyes. Is this a bug in this 3.0 version or have I missed something in the man pages. I've included my smb.conf file below. P.S. Also, would really appreciate anyone on the list who uses debian/samba3.0 that wishes to share their smb.conf file. There are many things that don't work for me like renaming computer accounts (using W2k GUI). I'm pretty sure it is something I did incorrectly or the lack of something. Really appreciate any help on this subject. Thanks!
