Hi list For a project we are trying to change the samba password automatically in a cron job. Since smbpasswd doesn't allow the password to be entered otherwise than though the console (user input). We found a solution to the input part though expect. But as thing go expect doesn't work in a cron job since it has no tty. Is there anyone who can point us the right way to a solution.

Is there a way to have the Samba password file sync up from the Linux (Red Hat 7) password file either automatically or in a batch process. We change user passwords every view months and it's a pain to have to change both files each time. Brad Bell Maharam
