Hi,
I have a FreeBSD 9.2 system running Samaba 3.6.12 and I am trying to setup
password syncing so Windows users can change their passwords and have that
change reflected in the FreeBSD password DB.
I added the following to my smb.conf
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat timeout = 10
However, when I change a password in Windows it thinks for a while then says
'Access denied', however the unix password has been changed but the
Samba one has not (!)
If I runs smbpasswd I get..
[midget 8:56] ~ >smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
SAMR connection to machine NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED failed. Error was 127.0.0.1,
but LANMAN password changes are disabled
I've done some googling on that error but haven't found anything
definitive.
The account in question looks normal, eg..
[midget 8:58] ~ >sudo pdbedit -Lv darius
WARNING: The "idmap uid" option is deprecated
WARNING: The "idmap gid" option is deprecated
Unix username: darius
