same results with our AIX 4.3.3. It seems the samba redirection of stdout and stdin (which seems to work with most unix platforms) does not work with AIX. I detected similar problems with redirection from java. I have created a patch for samba 2.2.2 to directly change the AIX password (using AIX-routines getuserpw and setuserpw). I think it will also work with 2.2.3a. Its not yet published on my web site. Let me know if you want to try it - I will speed up. regards MW "Nordqvist, Per" <Per.Nordqvist@toyota-f1.com>@lists.samba.org on 12.03.2002 11:28:59 Gesendet von: samba-admin@lists.samba.org An: "'samba@lists.samba.org'" <samba@lists.samba.org> Kopie: Org.Element: Telefon: Thema: [Samba] Password sync problem Hi, I have installed Samba 2.2.3a on a AIX 4.3.3 server which also act as a NIS master. Samba is configured as a PDC and I would like to sync the password between Samba and NIS. Ofcource this doesn't work as expected and I need help. Have anyone ever tested the 'unix password sync' together with AIX 4.3.3? When I try to change the password with smbpasswd I get an error message: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was: RAP86: The specified password is invalid. For sure, the password I type in is correct, but when I look in the log for smb it seems like /usr/bin/passwd is not executed at all. The chat responce from /usr/bin/passwd is totally empty. My smb.conf looks like this: [global] workgroup = CAT.DOM encrypt passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n passwd chat debug = Yes unix password sync = Yes Please help Per - ------------------------------------------------------------------- * Please notice our new e-mail domain name toyota-f1.com - -------------------------------------------------------------------- DISCLAIMER * This email and any attachment may contain confidential information.
