In [global] you want: You need to set the correct values for: passwd program (= /path/to/passwd %u) passwd chat (distro dependant - something like this though: passwd chat *new*password* %n\\n*new*password* %n\\n *changed*) unix password sync (= yes) You could also use PAM: PAM password change = yes and delete the "passwd program" parameter. The password chat is distro dependant - because it is based on what happens if you type passwd <user> as root. try typing man smb.conf - its suprisingly useful! http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html#PASSWDPROGRAM Chris -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
It is possible. If you put the following lines in your smb.conf under
[global]:
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .

Changing the unix password at the same time is a different matter, but did you actually try before you asked the list?
