Hi, I've just subscribed to the samba lists, but I have been reading Samba Traffic for a while now. I saw a while back a discussion about this topic and it came out that the best solution would be to change the pass on Unix (in this case Linux) with a web interface and let PAM sync it up with the NT DC. Is this still the case? Is there a way to let the password aging inherent in windows work using the native dialogs? I have about 120 users and about 15 have their passwords synched. I'm in a transition. The guest on failed pass is great for this. There is also the problem of detecting if the passwords are different. Would this still be a problem or are there some automatic mechanisms in place now?
