Hello.... I have managed to confuse myself over implementing samba and allowing it to sync passwords with a unix ldap server. The server samba is running on is also the ldap server, and I can sucesfully change a ldap user's password with the standard passwd command. I have compiled samba with pam_smbpass support. Although the unix accounts are in ldap, I want to keep smb accounts in the standard smbpassword file. I'm now confused over how to sync the passwords. In using pam_smbpass, if I change my smb password with a nt/2000 workstation and/or smbpass, will it know to change it on the LDAP server or will it fail since pam_smbpass is looking for /etc/shadow (I didn't see that in the source code). I.e. since passwd on unix can change ldap password, shouldn't this? To set this up, would putting the following in /etc/pam.d/system-auth suffice? : password required /lib/security/pam_smbpass.so Thanks in advance.... -- <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< ><> <>< Ken Kleiner System Manager Computer Science Department Umass Lowell voice : 978 934 3645 fax : 978 934 3551 cell : 603 930 5582 (emergencies only, please) ken@cs.uml.edu
