Hi, all -- I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their samba passwords easily and quickly.? It looks something like: ?? useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname ?? echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u accountname If I type the lines from the keyboard, it works fine.? However, when I try to execute the script, the pdbedit on the second line reports that there's no unix accountname to apply to samba.? I assume t...

Hi, there! When my XP users try to change passwords, they get a message saying that password has been changed. That's not true! NT and LM passwords are changed but unixPassword isn't. Look at this openldap.log lines: Feb 12 07:50:28 apolo slapd[22826]: conn=698021 op=40 MOD dn="uid=teste,ou=Users,dc=domain" Feb 12 07:50:28 apolo slapd[22826]: conn=698021 op=40 MOD attr=sambaLMPassword sambaLMPassword sambaNTPassword sambaNTPassword sambaPwdLastSet sambaPwd...

Hi, I am having a problem synchronizing user passwords with an LDAP server. The samba password works fine but synchronizing the LDAP unixpassword fails. Samba server and LDAP server are not identically and therefore I need the old an the new password for whatever passwd chat. But %o is an empty string. I browse through the source code and found: /* * At this point we have the new case-sensitive plaintext * password in...

Gentleman, While using Openldap 2.2.x, password syncronization was working fine. It means that when a user changed his password through MS Windows XP, unixPassword, sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword were updated at the same time. Since I migrated Openldap to version 2.3.38 (same compilation options / conf files untouched) it stopped working. Now only sambaXXPassword are updated and unixPassword remain with the old value. No errors are shown on ldap or sam...

I have successfully joined my Linux/Ubuntu workstation to the Samaba AD/DC domain thanks to help from Rowland Penny. Now I face an interesting problem ... Domain users cannot change their password. Domain users can successfully login to the Linux workstation using their domain credentials, but when the user tries to change the password using "Passwords and Keys" from the desktop

I would like to have sync'd Unix and Samba passwords. My Unix passwords are stored in OpenLDAP for uniformity across machines and services. I have some problems with the standard solutions to this problem though: * if I have Samba authenticate from OpenLDAP directly (using the smbPassword attribute), then I get sync'ing problems when the password is changed via normal Unix means. We

Ive just discovered that my previous email is wrong - the password sync does in fact work under Solaris fine. What is happening however is that when I create a new account, and call smbpasswd $user as root, it only updates the SMB password and not the Unix password as well. I though I could change my call to /bin/passwd in my new user creation scrip with /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a, but as
