samba - Aug 2004 - possible bug with passwd programm = ...

Hi all,

I'm using Samba 3.0.5 with openldap as pdc


smb.conf:

   unix password sync = yes
   passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %U


log says:

Aug 10 09:17:58 juwidc01 smbd[4720]:   chgpasswd: Running as root the
'passwd program' parameter *MUST* contain the string %u, and the given
string /usr/bin/passwd helberga does not.


Looks like a bug to me - anyone else had prolblems like this?

What bug?  you have to use %u (lower case) not %U (upper case).
