Hi all, My setup is: Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS Samba/Swat 3.4.7~dfsg-1ubuntu3.8 I apply min password age both on Unix and Samba. I test SWAT and it seems to be working fine, except after few days I notice that changing password from SWAT doesn't modify the "Last password change" on unix password. As the result now the info on my account is: - Unix last password change: Mar 25, 2012 - Samba last password change: Mar 26, 2012. I try to change password from SWAT again today (Mar 26), and surely SWAT says: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : Account restriction. The passwd has NOT been changed. In /var/log/log.smbd: [2012/03/26 15:33:30, 1] smbd/chgpasswd.c:1124(change_oem_password) user fajar cannot change password now, must wait until Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:33:30 SGT This is the funny thing begins: - Unix account is changed by SWAT. But the Last password change is still Mar 25. - Samba account not changed. But after 1 minute (I think), samba password is changed too. Match the unix password!!! smb.conf: security = user encrypt passwords = true passdb backend = tdbsam obey pam restrictions = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* . pam password change = yes Why so strange? - Why SWAT manages to change the unix password but not update the Last password change date? - Why after 1 minute, the samba password got synched with unix password? Any more info you need from me, pls me know. Thank you. -- Fajar.
