I'd like to change Samba passwords from win95 and NT4 clients.
I use security=user.
I don't give shell access to every user, so they can't use smbpasswd.
I've tested from a win95 client with the precompiled samba-2.0.4b.i386.rpm:
net pass \\greg greg test1 test2
I'd used smbpasswd to change greg's password to test1 on host greg prior
to this. Here's the
smbpasswd file:
#
# SMB password file.
#
greg:500:E88D94D6EBD10FC7AAD3B435B51404EE:AACD12D27C87CAC8FC0B8538AED6F05
8:::
It's on one line, even if wrapped. :)
Net pass has failed with error code 86.
Here's the log:

How come "old password doesn't match" when I can connect to the
services with that password?
I also noted that I can't even get this far, if I'm not logged on
locally with the correct
username/password. (An NT "server" lets you change your/anyone's
password without having to
be logged on first.)
And what is the normal way to change your password from NT?
(Since I couldn't find any other way, I tried CTRL-ALT-DEL/Change Password
and using the
name of the samba server in the Domain edit box, but its result was rather
weird, so I don't think
that's the way to go.:))
Are you still with me? Thanks. :)
