Hello Samba Users,
I cannot change a user's Samba password from a Windoze client or from the
Unix
Samba server when "unix password sync = True". Any ideas what/where I
screwed
up?
AtDhVaAnNkCsE
- Samba version 1.9.18p10 on a Solaris 2.5 box.
- compiled with the following flags:
FLAGSM = -DSUNOS5 -DSHADOW_PWD -DNETGROUP -DFAST_SHARE_MODES
-DALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD
- global section of the smb.conf contains, amongst other things, :
encrypt passwords = yes
unix password sync = true
passwd chat debug = True
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password:* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password:* %n\n
The failure I have is when I logon to my samba server as a non-root user and
execute smbpasswd. It prompts me for the old, and then the new (twice), and
then says:
smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The
specified password is invalid.
That's the crux of the problem. The rest of this email is miscellaneous
info
that may help surface a solution:
- running "smbpasswd <login>" as root on the samba server
changes the SMB
password accordingly, but not the Unix password.
- smbd is running with debug level = 3. When I login to Unix on the samba
server as root and issue the command "smbpasswd joeuser", the log
file
has nothing to say. When I login to Unix on the samba server as joeuser
and issue the command "smbpasswd", the smbd log on the server
says the following:

- when i run smbd with debug level = 100, and do a "smbpasswd" as unix
user
joeuser on the samba server, the smbd log file shows that the chat script
is correct.
