[Samba] Windows 2000 password change with smbpasswd - login problem
Hi guys, How are you ? My setup is as follows: Samba-3.0.0 PDC on a Slackware-9.0 box, with mixed N.T. and Windows 2000 clients. Everything has been running perfectly for months however now, it seems I've picked up a bit of a weird problem when changing a users password via smbpasswd. This problem only appears to affect users who log onto the Samba domain using a Windows 2000 PC. i.e If I change a password for an N.T. 4.0 user the user merely has to log out of N.T. and log back on with his new password, everything works perfectly. If I change a password for a Windows 2000 user, the user logs off Windows 2000, tries to login again, but receives and incorrect username/password error. Ever come across this before ? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Many thanks and kind regards, David Wilson D c D a t a +27 33 3427003 +27 82 4147413 http://www.dcdata.co.za support@dcdata.co.za ____________________________________________________ LinuxBox S.A.: Africa's largest free shell provider.
