Hi I am using samba 3.0.7-2 on my FC1 box as a PDC with a backend of tdbsam and I would like to set up a BDC for the domain as well. The big samba book tells me it can be done with tdbsam, but is wary about the machine passwords changing, thus breaking the replication done with rsync. I don't have the time right now to get into an ldap backend, so I was wondering if there is a way to stop the clients from changing their passwords regularily. I have googled for it but to no avail so far.I will continue looking, but if someone out there knows where to tell samba to tell its clients that a machine password change is not required I would appreciate it very much indeed, if I were told, many thanks, .peter

Look at the account policy in Samba named "refuse machine password change". cheers, jerry ====================================================================Alleviating the pain of Windows(tm) ------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ----- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc "I never saved anything for the swim back."
