Dear all: Sorry if this has been posted before, I have a samba server ( 3.0.7 ) running on Fedora Core 1 ( kernel upgraded to 2.6.11) as PDC. I just couldn't make the unix password sync option work. Below is the configuration: unix password sync =3D yes passwd program =3D /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat =3D *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* passwd chat debug =3D yes log level =3D 100 I've tried reading the man page and samba.org documents and have changed the settings around according to various suggestions, none of them worked. Any help would be appreciated. hc
