Good afternoon. In my quest to set up FDS with Samba (CentOS 4.3), I''ve managed to get samba and the directory configured so that it is successful in affecting a password change via the "ldap passwd sync = yes" option in the smb.conf file. When I attempt to change the password in my Windows XP client using the standard XP dialogs, it accepts the new password, but then promptly crashes the Directory Server. This behavior has also been observed with the executable smbpasswd. I''m running FDS 1.0.2. I''d sure like samba to control the "userPassword" LDAP attribute when a password is changed, but this is a show-stopper to be sure. Has anyone else observed this problem? Regards, Eliot

Rich, Thanks for the pointer. I rebuilt with the two files modified (but kept the rest of the source code tree the same), and noticed that smbpasswd does not crash the Directory now. Thanks again!
