Hi! I have a SUSE 7.3 (samba 2.2.1a) box set up as PDC on my network. I had the password chat command working, then it stopped working - I probaly did "something stupid" but WHAT!!! With loglevel 100 and debug passwd chat on, the log file says something like snip... [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(451) Password change for user: ltb [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98) pty: try to open ptya0, line was /dev/ptyXX [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98) pty: try to open ptya1, line was /dev/ptya0 [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98) pty: try to open ptya2, line was /dev/ptya1 ... [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98) pty: try to open ptyze, line was /dev/ptyzd [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98) pty: try to open ptyzf, line was /dev/ptyze [2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(322) Cannot Allocate pty for password change: ltb ...snip It appears that the passwd chat don't even start before it fails. The error Winblows gives is "Old Password or username don't match... make sure caps lock is not... bla bla" Any body knows what causes this error message - or if what I posibly could do to fix it. /Lasse
