Before samba role become DC , samba use this smb.conf.
[/home/hywu] # cat /home/hywu/smb.conf [global] passdb backend = smbpasswd
workgroup = WORKGROUP security=user

After samba role become DC, samba use smb.conf generated by samba-tool
domain prvision.

I need to sync account password in  /etc/passwd and smbpasswd so when I
change local user password I run smbpasswd command to set the same password.
Before samba become DC, "smbpasswd -c /home/hywu/smb.conf -U ZTEST"
works
well.
After samba become DC, this command fail to change password.
I check debug log and samba code, I find the order of getpwnam call in
Get_Pwnam_internals cause this problem.

That would not put anything into /etc/passwd, but thinking about it, do
you have 'winbind enum users = yes' in your correct smb.conf ?

You only need local Unix users (the ones that are in /etc/passwd) on a
Samba AD DC for local administration and as I said earlier, any local
Unix users are unknown to AD.

If I run getent on one of my DCs, I get thing like this:

adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ getent passwd rowland
SAMDOM\rowland:*:3000020:100:Rowland Penny:/home/SAMDOM/rowland:/bin/bash

To all intents and purposes, 'rowland' is a local Unix user and can log
into the DC, but 'rowland' isn't in /etc/passwd:

adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ cat /etc/passwd | grep 'rowland'
adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ 
adminuser at rpidc1:~ $ 

To change an AD users password, you can use samba-tool, see:

samba-tool user password --help

Or:

samba-tool user setpassword --help

I would remove any users from /etc/passwd that are also created in your
AD DC

I will now go and close your bug report, it is invalid.
