Hi All, I have a production samba server running 3.04 on Debian integrated to use AD accounts. It's been running most happily for about 6 months 8=] I've just attempted to create a non-privileged local unix user account for a new service I'm installing, but it fails prompting me for the AD domain account password. Eg... adduser test Adding user test... Adding new group test (1000). Adding new user test (1000) with group cron. Creating home directory /home/test. Copying files from /etc/skel Enter new UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: Password for test@DOMAIN.COM: passwd: Error in service module adduser: `/usr/bin/passwd test' returned error code 10. Aborting. Cleaning up. Removing directory `/home/test' Removing user `test'. Removing group `test'. groupdel: group test does not exist I vaguely remember something about synching password changes & suspect when the server was in test phase, I may have toyed briefly with such settings. Can anyone tell me how to switch this off? Cheers, Lewis
