[Samba] password synchronization - smbpasswd for ordinary users
I have Samba 2.2.3a running on Tru64 Unix v4.0f (?) I have Win NT4.0 (sp6a) as our local PC OS. I have created a Samba password file for users. I've tried several permutations, but currently I have security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes username map = /../../../usermap.txt I also have standard password encryption on the NT side, i.e. not plaintext. If I sync the PC password, Unix password, and Samba password, (by hand), then I can browse to the user files on the Samba machine without being challenged for password. Sounds great. But I can't seem to get smbpasswd to allow the ordinary user to change their Samba password. Any suggestions?
