Hi, I am using smbpasswd = yes in my smb.conf file, so that I can use encrypted passwords in windows 2000 I am using samba 2.2.5-10 the default which comes with redhat 8.0. So far everything works fine, till I change my smbpasswd, it dosent reflect in /etc/passwd I just wanted to know how to get passwd and smbpasswd to sync with each other vice-versa If I change either of the two it should sync, Is that possible. My smb.conf [global] section looks like this. --------------------------------------------- workgroup = dev server string = Samba Dev Server log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 0 security = user encrypt passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* pam password change = Yes obey pam restrictions = no socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 local master = no smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd os level = 0 domain master = no preferred master = no wins server = 192.168.0.66 dns proxy = no -------------------------------------------------------- What am I doing wrong.
