samba - Feb 2010 - smbpasswd issue in a migration.

Hi,

 

I migrated a server from Ubuntu 5.10 to a Ubuntu 8.04. Also I migrated
samba.

 

My problem is when I try to change an user?s password. To change from the
original server a password I use the command smbpasswd ?user? and it works;
but when I try to do the same in the new server I get this error bash:
/usr/bin/smbpasswd  no such file or directory exist. I try to change the
password with passwd but then it doesn?t allow me to log on a windows?s
terminal with the new password. Maybe is important to say that users with
their own passwords can log on without a problem.

 

Any idea? Do you need any more information?

 

Thanks.

 

Gabriel.

What tells

        which -a smbpasswd
        ls -l /usr/bin/smbpasswd

That's simple: "passwd" changes (only) the Linux password, and  
"smbpasswd" only changes the Samba password.

Viele Gruesse!
