samba - Jun 2005 - change windows ADS passwords from linux box

I have samba clients authenticating to Windows ADS through winbind.

All works perfectly, but I don't how to enable my linux users to change 
their password (on the windows machine) from the linux box.

Although there is a great deal of documentation on the internet, I could 
not find anything specifically to this...

A small howto on what smb.conf/pam/nsswitch/xxx parameters are required 
to do this will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Stefanos

Password ? it is the ads password to logon on PDC ?

Giuseppe

thanks Giuseppe, but I can't do that because I do not install separate 
kerberos implementation (I use the samba packages from sernet, which 
have kerberos statically built). So I do not have this utility, and I do 
not want to install it.

I was hoping that there is something "built in" in samba that can do
that

Anyway, thanks again

Have you tried
$ passwd
?

It worked for me the last time I tried it.
