samba - Mar 2009 - Samba with ldap-Backend as PDC: Changing SMB-Password under Unix?

Hello,

I have a working PDC with ldap-Backend under SUSE 10.2. Everything is
working fine, except 2 thing:

Can I change the sambaNTpassword and sambaLMpassword under Unix so that the
User can change the samba-Passwords and the Unix-Password with one single
command?

Can I automaticly connect the Home-Networkshare to a Network-Drive? Without
a Logon-Script?

Regards

Daniel

"smbpasswd -r" against the localhost, together with "ldap
passwd sync = yes".

Not sure about that one :-)

In smb.conf:

logon drive = X:

Yes, using ldap passwd sync (although it has been rather argumentative
on recent versions; not certain why).

 I don't think so.  Buy you can use policies (via POLEDIT.EXE) to
redirect "My Documents" transparently to the user's network home
directory.  I think this is covered in the Samba HOWTO/ByExample and you
can go to Google and search 'site:lists.samba.org "folder
redirection"'
to get lots of references.
