I am using samba as a PDC for my WIN2K professional network. My configuration is as under: [global] workgroup = ABC netbios name = COMPAQ server string = %h server (Samba %v) security = user encrypt passwords = Yes null passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n . unix password sync = Yes syslog = 0 log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m max log size = 1000 add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u logon script = \\%N\netlogon\logon logon drive = H: domain logons = Yes os level = 99 preferred master = True domain master = True [netlogon] path = /export/smb/netlogon write list = JOHN When i try to change a user password from my win2k client it says that "you do not have permission to change the password", what configuration parameter do i need to make that work. Sincerely, shasan
