Hello, I am running FreeBSD 4.0 and Samba version 2.0.4b. I am trying get my smbpasswd+samba password to synchronize. At this point when I run smbpasswd <user> as root it will change the samba password and update the UNIX password as well. Problem is, that a user running smbpasswd at his shell prompt or using Passwords (from Control Panel) will not change the smbpassword and not update the UNIX password. My smb.conf is as follows: [global] interfaces = 10.254.254.1/255.255.255.0 hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 10.254.254.0/255.255.255.0 remote announce = 10.254.254.255/BEST os level = 65 server string = Powered by FreeBSD workgroup = BEST netbios name = DAEMON wins support = yes browseable = Yes browse list = Yes domain master = Yes preferred master = Yes local master = Yes domain logons = yes logon script = logon.bat socket options = TCP_NODELAY getwd cache = yes read raw = yes max xmit = 32768 read size = 65536 oplocks = True read prediction = True locking = true password level = 16 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd unix password sync = True passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd -l %u passwd chat = *\n*ew\spassword* %n\n *ew\spassword* %n\n*updating\sthe\sdatabase...\npasswd:\sdone\n passwd chat debug = True debug level = 3 log file = /var/log/samba.log case sensitive = no default case = lower mangle case = no preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes hide dot files = yes hide files = '.*' [homes] browseable = no comment = %u's home create mode = 0755 force create mode = 0755 path = %H public = no writeable = yes hide dot files = yes [netlogon] comment = Samba Network Logon Service path = /usr/local/samba/netlogon browseable = no guest ok = no locking = no case sensitive = no share modes = no Thanks, Richard <rfurda@best.ca>
