samba - Feb 2002 - Problem with password chat and unix password sync..

Hi all,

I am trying to sync unix and samba
passwords but it is not working, i
added the following lines to my smb.conf

unix password sync = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password*%n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*


And passwd command on my system
(Mandrake 8.0) works like this...

[cyrofilho@servidor cyrofilho]$ passwd
Changing password for cyrofilho
(current) UNIX password:
New UNIX password:
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens
updated successfully
[cyrofilho@servidor cyrofilho]$


What am i doing wrong?? i allready
tryed the following in smb.conf, but
testparm says that i can not use %o
with encrypted passwords and the
password sync does not work...

passwd chat *(current)*UNIX*password* %o\n
*New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password*%n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

So what can i do to make it work..
Tanks in advance...

That option assumes your users are primarily WINDOWS users, and not Unix 
users.

The password sync option is one way, in that it only refers to WINDOWS 
users changing their password, and having the system ALSO change the same 
user on the Unix side behind the scenes.  It is *NOT* designed to work from 
the Unix side, i.e. when you type passwd at a Unix prompt, to also have the 
Samba password changed.
