Hello, i have an wierd problem under 3.0.8. This versions seems to encrypt password different to 2.2.9 an by this lock out any user. The machine is a Sun under Solaris 8 with the recommended patch cluster. User Repository is done by ldap_compat, because of several Systems in need of the old samba-schema (2.2.9). Anybody out there, who can reproduce the behaviour ? I?ve already filed a bug under 2020. Regards Joerg Example: bash-2.03# ./smbpasswd smbtest10 New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: bash-2.03# ./smbclient -s/usr/local/smb/system/config/<customersite>/smb.pdc2.conf -U smbtest10 //pdc2-<customersite>/smbtest10 Password: session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE NOW CHANGING PASSWORD FROM A DIFFERENT SERVER UNDER 2.2.9 to same value bash-2.03# ./smbclient -s/usr/local/smb/system/config/<customersite>/smb.pdc2.conf -U smbtest10 //pdc2-<customersite>/smbtest10 Password: Domain=[<domainname>] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.8] smb: \> quit working Userentry-LDIF, changed with smbpasswd of 2.2.9 dn: uid=smbtest10,ou=people,ou=allgemein,o=organisation objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: account objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: person objectClass: sambaAccount acctFlags: [U ] cn: smbtest10 displayName: smbtest10 gecos: #T:common gidNumber: 10000 homeDirectory: /<somedirectory>/smbtest10 kickoffTime: 2147483647 lmPassword: 86859AF790F4B217AAD3B435B51404EE loginShell: /bin/false logofftime: 2147483647 logonTime: 2147483647 ntPassword: 0C6AE10552793A8B88778B8185E47B78 primaryGroupID: 21001 pwdCanChange: 1086693852 pwdLastSet: 1100177214 pwdMustChange: 2147483647 rid: 41734 shadowFlag: 0 sn: smbtest10 uid: smbtest10 uidNumber: 20367 userPassword:: e1NTSEF9N1dJcjNIaWxGeENiZ0VSRmJxckpTN1dNWG1pNkZyWVB1RHBtUHc9P Q= Same user, changed with smbpassword with Samba 3.0.8, login not possible dn: uid=smbtest10,ou=people,ou=allgemein,o=organisation objectClass: inetOrgPerson objectClass: posixAccount objectClass: shadowAccount objectClass: account objectClass: top objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: person objectClass: sambaAccount acctFlags: [U ] cn: smbtest10 displayName: smbtest10 gecos: #T:common gidNumber: 10000 homeDirectory: /<somedirectory>/smbtest10 kickoffTime: 2147483647 lmPassword: FE12086CE1A36EF5AAD3B435B51404EE loginShell: /bin/false logofftime: 2147483647 logonTime: 2147483647 ntPassword: 314040DC01195C391E161E6B39824C78 primaryGroupID: 21001 pwdCanChange: 1086693852 pwdLastSet: 1100177019 pwdMustChange: 2147483647 rid: 41734 shadowFlag: 0 sn: smbtest10 uid: smbtest10 uidNumber: 20367 userPassword:: e1NTSEF9N1dJcjNIaWxGeENiZ0VSRmJxckpTN1dNWG1pNkZyWVB1RHBtUHc9P Q= Diff of both ldifs : 18c18 < lmPassword: 86859AF790F4B217AAD3B435B51404EE ---> lmPassword: FE12086CE1A36EF5AAD3B435B51404EE22c22 < ntPassword: 0C6AE10552793A8B88778B8185E47B78 ---> ntPassword: 314040DC01195C391E161E6B39824C7825c25 < pwdLastSet: 1100177214 ---> pwdLastSet: 1100177019--
