[Samba] Samba / Ldap / Unix / Sendmail passwords when changing via windows client.
I have just installed RHEL 4 with Samba 3.0.10 and samba tools 0.9.1.1. All works very well until a user changes the password using a windows client. All the correct changes occur in ldap and everything looks fine, the user can login with the new password to windows and unix, the problem is they can no longer send mail via smtp-auth. It seems that sendmail does not accept the new hash method used to encrypt the new unix password by samba (smd5). If you use the smbldap-passwd script to change the password again on the command line the password changes back to md5crypt and all is well again. I read that samba encrypts the new password in the same manner as the old password, but this does not seem to be the case. Is there anyway of forcing samba to encrypt the password in a set manner? Many thanks, Neil. -- Neil Marjoram Adastral Park Campus University College London Ross Building Adastral Park Martlesham Heath Ipswich - Suffolk IP5 3RE Reclaim Your Inbox! http://www.mozilla.org/products/thunderbird
