[Samba] Trying to change password: "RAP86: The specified password is invalid."
Good $TIME! ;) I'm having the following problem with Samba 3.0.0 on a Solaris 8 machine. root_s07nfs:/opt/samba3/private/ > ls -la total 24 drwxrwxr-x 2 root other 96 Oct 14 10:12 . drwxrwxr-x 9 root other 4096 Oct 9 07:15 .. -rw------- 1 root root 8192 Oct 14 10:11 secrets.tdb -rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 14 10:13 smbpasswd root_s07nfs:/opt/samba3/private/ > /opt/samba3/bin/smbpasswd -a vz6tml New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Added user vz6tml. root_s07nfs:/opt/samba3/private/ > ls -la total 32 drwxrwxr-x 2 root other 96 Oct 14 10:12 . drwxrwxr-x 9 root other 4096 Oct 9 07:15 .. -rw------- 1 root root 8192 Oct 14 10:11 secrets.tdb -rw------- 1 root root 106 Oct 14 10:13 smbpasswd root_s07nfs:/opt/samba3/private/ > cat smbpasswd vz6tml:1100:33BBCC14D194D2DAD3???F48EE51B785:50C971EB141445781437C06CF1162DBF:[U ]:LCT-3F8BB036: vz6tml_s07nfs:/u/vz6tml/ > /opt/samba3/bin/smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for vz6tml Uhm, why? The password is correct, I'm sure - after it did not work for the first 10 times, I switched to Copy'n'Paste for the text 10 tries. Always the same error message from smbpasswd :( I also don't quite get, how the smbpasswd binary could write to the smbpasswd file, since the binary just has 775 rights: root_s07nfs:/var/log/ > ls -al /opt/samba3/bin/smbpasswd -rwxr-xr-x 1 root other 1204900 Oct 1 06:26 /opt/samba3/bin/smbpasswd IOW, it's not suid root. If I set it suid root, I get this error message: vz6tml_s07nfs:/u/vz6tml/ > /opt/samba3/bin/smbpasswd smbpasswd must *NOT* be setuid root. Well, what am I doing wrong? Why can't I change the users password when I'm the user?
