The version of Samba file sharing that I'm using is 2.2.7 The problem comes as follows; [Thushani@smbserver Thushani]$ smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for Thushani Please any one of you write to me what I should do to solve this problem In the smb.conf file I have unix password sync=yes passwd program = /bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New* %n\n *Retype* %n\n password level = 8 Regards, Thushani --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!?

After a lot of tries, I got the opinion that it is quite impossible to make the option "unix password sync=yes" working correctly but if someone was able to make it works, thank you to tell us R.

I think ur password is less than 8 characters. I reproduced the error when I put it less than 8 characters for my new password.
