I want to change the password on the server I`ve tried to change /bin/bash to /usr/bin/smbpasswd but i got the message that changing password rejected to 127.0.0.1 so thats the problem i think i`ve already read all the faqs and i still dont know more than before :-) greetz pozdrawiam ---------------------------------------- - Hiroszima 45 Czernobyl 86 Windows 95 - ---------------------------------------- - http://www.djfusion.z.pl/ - - http://www.sto-procent.art.pl/ - ---------------------------------------- EOF

Have you told win9x to logon to the samba domain (client for ms network properties)?>I`ve tried to change /bin/bash to /usr/bin/smbpasswd >but i got the message that changing password rejected to 127.0.0.1If enabled, disable password sync since you don't need it. See if you used correctly "intrefaces", "hosts allow". try smbpasswd -r <your-samba-name> -- giulioo@pobox.com
