hi all ... I was thinking that my password changing problems may have something to do with the fact that I'm using shadow passwords in my Debian system. I've noticed around the place that samba can be configured to include support for shadow passwords but haven't been able to find any detailed description of this. Does anybody know how this should be done? thanks Andrew ------------------------------------------------- Andrew McRobert LLB B.Sc(Comp.
