Good day creators of Samba! I wish all of you a very good day. Samba has helped me a lot in my office intranet for my colleagues and I now can share files via the Samba box in which I have set up, excellent! Thank you all so much ! But I do have one request for help; is there a way in which I can allow users connected to the Samba machine to change thier Samba passwords via a web interface? Or probably a command in which I can change it from Windows? I would really appreciate your help. Once again thanks and thanks in advance!

I think it will as long as it is set up in smb.conf (see below). Try it out yourself with your account. I think it is these entries: encrypt passwords = Yes obey pam restrictions = Yes pam password change = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n unix password sync = Yes Sincerely, Matthew J.
