Samba version: 1.9.17p2 Server OS: Solaris 2.5.1 I recently changed my config to use encrypted passwords (mainly because we're now using a dedicated network file server in addition to our Unix samba boxes, and the new box, which is also dual NFS+SMB protocol, seems to require encrypted passwords). Everything's been working fine and dandy. I've just written an expect script so that our users can change the two passwords simultaneously using a single command on Unix. Problem: I thought I'd enable the ability to change passwords on the W95 machines via Samba, which would please our PC-only users. Looks straightforward - define the password program and password chat string & re-start. No joy. Result: W95 machine complains 'This request is not supported by the network'. I checked my Makefile to see that password changing was enabled, and even checked the object files to be sure. I set logging to level 3 (since the source indicates this should show up enough to see how far it gets), but I see none of the expected messages in the log files. Observation: I do see the following in the log file, however: switch message SMBtrans (pid 16320) chdir to /usr/tmp trans <\PIPE\LANMAN> data=532 params=22 setup=0 Got API command 214 of form <zsT> <B516B16> (tdscnt=532,tpscnt=22,mdrcnt=0,mprcn t=4) Unsupported API command 10/06/97 22:46:50 Transaction 4 of length 39 switch message SMBtdis (pid 16320) Looking in ipc.c, I see that the SetUserPassword call uses command 115, so I wondered if the W95 machines are calling 214 instead (perhaps because I'm using encryption) which could explain why it doesn't work? Questions: 1.Is there something I've overlooked? 2.Is anybody using 'change password' with W95 & encryption? 3.Is my conjecture above anywhere near the mark?
