[Samba] passwd chat / passwd program - help please
Hello all, My windows clients can't change their password via the password utility in windows. They just get an incorrect password error. here are my configs: passwd chat = "Changing password for user*" "\n" "New UNIX password:" "%n\n" "Retype new UNIX password:" "%n\n" "passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully" passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat debug = yes Any ideas? Thank you! -- Terry Davis Systems Administrator BirdDog Solutions, Inc. (402) 829-6059

Are you saying that it doesn't change them on the Unix side (which WOULD involve the password chat, and settings you list), or it doesn't even change them on the Samba side (which would NOT involve the chat)? There are two aspects to this: changing the samba passwd (smbpasswd file), and synching those smbpasswd passwords with the Unix passwords. - jb --On Saturday, February 02, 2002 12:40 PM -0600 tdavis@birddog.com wrote:> My windows clients can't change their password via the password utility > in windows.
