I'm trying to figure out how I can change to SMB password and UNIX password together. On the Win98 I change the password via : Control Panel - Passwords - Change Windows password (select also Microsoft Networking) After a few seconds I get the message 'The password you typed is not correct for MS Networking' Are there any known problems with password sync ? I read the digest 2112 till 2186, FAQ and docs. Can someone help me out ?
