samba - Sep 2000 - Samba-tng PDC -- OpenLDAP -- UNIX password sync problem

Samba-tng PDC -- OpenLDAP  -- UNIX password sync problem

I'm running samba-tng 2.6 on Linux 6.2 with OpenLDAP 1.2.11.  I have a samba
PDC storing its password information
in LDAP.  I'm also using the following pam modules:  pam_ldap and nss_ldap.

The problem is that I really don't know a way to use the password sync
parameter and have it sync the UNIX
passwords in LDAP.

Everything works great if I keep the UNIX passwords in the password/shadow files
but when I migrate
them into LDAP the password sync is broken.

I tried using the password program parameter with a script  but that did not
work:

password program = <path to program>/<program name> %u %o %n

I did not use the passwd chat parameter along with it.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to sync my UNIX password along with the
samba passwords in LDAP?

Thanks,

Jody,

I think, the easiest way is to register a shell script as passwd program
in Samba, which executes a ldapadd or ldappasswd to change the password
in OpenLDAP.

Hope this helps, regards
