Hi, I've been running samba for a while, and just put on Samba 2.0.0 and enabled all the domain controller support (its great!) I've got everyone's account being served off a Solaris 2.6 machine w/ encrypted passwords, and all the filesharing and print sharing works nicely. I've read all the FAQs, listserv digests, and although I've seen solutions posted, those fixes don't seem to work for me. When I try to change a password with CTRL-ALT-DEL from the NT machine (NT 4.0 SP3), it gives the message: check_oem_password: old lm password doesn't match. even though the password (I'm damn sure) is correct. The password works for login, and I can change it via smbpasswd on the UNIX host. For the FAQ sensitive, I _DO_ have the following related params set: allow hosts = 127.0.0.1 (and the clients of course) unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* passwd chat debug = yes smb passwd file = /opt/samba/private/smbpasswd As for the password chat -- I've never seen the output of it in the log file. I only get as far as the error message. Oddly enough, in my several hours of working with it last night, it worked *once* (out of about 50 attempts w/ various configs). However, it didn't work immediately after that, with no changes to the config. I suspect that this is a bug, but if it is, at least you know about it :) -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Christopher A.
