Still haveing problems
I read the articles on the WIndows patch that messed up the chaging of
passwords... I have since downloaded the latest stable version (3.0.4) and
set it up, everything works perfectly except for changing passwords. When a
user from an XP machine goes to change his/her password, they get the error
"You do not have permission to change your password"
Here is a copy of my SMB.conf file
[global]
workgroup = KOSTERTEST
netbios name = TESTSERVER1
server string = Kosters Test Server
password server =
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
add user script = /usr/sbin/adduser -s /bin/bash %u
add machine script = /usr/sbin/adduser -d /dev/null -g machines -s
/bin/false -M %u
logon script = netlogon.bat
logon path =
logon drive = H:
domain logons = Yes
os level = 32
domain master = Yes
dns proxy = No
ldap ssl = no
printer admin = @adm
encrypt passwords = yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/spool/samba
create mask = 0700
guest ok = Yes
printable = Yes
browseable = No
[print$]
path = /var/lib/samba/printers
write list = @adm, root
inherit permissions = Yes
guest ok = Yes
[pdf-generator]
comment = PDF Generator (only valid users)
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
[netlogon]
comment = NetLogon Share
path = /home/netlogon
read only = No
locking = No
[profiles]
path = /home/profiles
read only = No
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[sales]
comment = Sales Folder
path = /home/sales
username = @sales
valid users = @sales
read only = No
browseable = No
[cs]
comment = Customer Service Folder
path = /home/cs
username = @cs
valid users = @cs
read only = No
browseable = No
Is the error really permissions based? if so how to I change the users
permissions so they can change their paswords???
