samba - Aug 2002 - Samba/Linux - Password synchronization problem

hi, friends! 


i have samba on mandrake. 

i want to set encrypted passwords for win98 winNT clients, and 
also i want to set passwords synchronization to automatically 
update a user's regular Unix password when the encrypted samba 
password is changed on the system. 
i can change user's passwords for samba but synchronization 
doesn't work. 

here are some lines from my smb.conf and 'testparm'. what causes 
the ERROR ??? 

---------------------------------------------------------------- 
---------------------------------------------------------------- 

Load smb config files from smb.conf 
Processing section "[homes]" 
Processing section "[test1]" 
Processing section "[test2]" 
Processing section "[test3]" 
Processing section "[samba]" 
Loaded services file OK. 
ERROR: the 'passwd chat' script [*passw* %o\n *new*passw* %n\n 
*new*passw* %n\n *success*] expects to use the old plaintext 
password via the %o substitution. With encrypted passwords this 
is not possible.

    unix password sync = yes

    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

    passwd chat = *passw* %o\n *new*passw* %n\n *new*passw* %

    passwd chat debug = yes 
; 
    log level = 100 
;

i am sure that 'passwd chat' is ok. for my mandrake.

Hi

the "  unix password sync = yes " works the other way around, meaning
that
when you change the unix password the samba one is also changed. I'm not 
sure you can do it the way you describe.
