similar to: smbpasswd fails with unix password sync enabled

I'm trying to figure out how I can change to SMB password and UNIX password together. On the Win98 I change the password via : Control Panel - Passwords - Change Windows password (select also Microsoft Networking) After a few seconds I get the message 'The password you typed is not correct for MS Networking' Are there any known problems with password sync ? I read the digest 2112 till

Dear all, I have a problem synchronizing my Windows98 network password (i.e. samba password) with my Unix NIS+ password. The Unix station is running Solaris 2.6. This is a copy of what I have in smb.conf to enable password change: password level = 2 domain logons = yes logon script = %U.bat debug level = 100 encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd -r

Server: Slakware Linux 2.0.30, GNU C 2.7.2.1 Samba 18p7 Server is not using PAM and is a ypclient. Client PC's are DOS 6.20 with MS Client 3.0 and Windows 95. I am having trouble changing passwords using the "net password \\<server>" command from either DOS or Win95 command prompt. Changing passwords worked fine using Samba 17p3. The compile switch -DALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD

Hello! I'm trying to use unix password sync = true on an Intel-RedHat 5.1 samba server, because I want to have one program (e.g. smbpasswd on the unix comand prompt) to change unix and "encrypted samba" passwords; changing passwords from clients is nice but secondary. I used FLAGSM = -DLINUX -DALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD -DFAST_SHARE_MODES -DNO_ASMSIGNALH -DGLIBC2 -DQUOTAS LIBSM =

I'm trying to get Unix passwords to synchronize on my Red Hat Linux server when users change their passwords in Windows '95. Everything is working quite well, except under a few, key conditions. When a user enters a password that's "too short", Samba doesn't seem to call the routines to change the unix password, but it does change the Windows encrypted password. At this

I have samba-1.9.18p7-2 smb.conf says: # Configure smbpasswd passwd chat debug = yes # Default passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* passwd program = /usr/bin/yppasswd Using smbpasswd, my encrypted password is changed, but yppasswd is not even touched (as per ls -lu /usr/bin/yppasswd). Furthermore, running smbd with -d 100 didn't seem to show

Hi! I know this is about the most asked question on these lists. I've been searching the archives looking for an answer, but all I can find is the same question over and over... I'm trying to get the Unix Password Sync option to work on my server. I'm running RH 6.0, with MD5 and shadowed passwords enabled, and Samba 2.0.5a (the RPM version). When I try to change passwords using

Hello Samba Users, I cannot change a user's Samba password from a Windoze client or from the Unix Samba server when "unix password sync = True". Any ideas what/where I screwed up?

Hello, I finally switched to the samba-1.9.18p4, and got all my files on this server. But now I have a big problem, all our NT machines can't access the server. They tell wrong user or password. In the debugging mode I see, that the NT machines come to the server and find the right user, then they tell me: lp_file_list_changed() file /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf ->

Hi, I have a problem with Samba on an OSF1 v4.0d machine. I get an "INTERNAL ERROR" and a core dump when trying to connect to a share from an NT 4.0 SP3 or W95 machine. I configured Samba to use encrypted password and I set the parameter "security=user". My Samba server is in a workgroup on its own, no PDC and BDCs around. I can see it in my Computer Neighborhood from the NT

I'm trying to copy a 400 MB file from a Windows 98 host to a FreeBSD 4.5 Samba server providing access to a FAT32 filesystem. I've got "strict allocate = no", but from what I can see with debug set to 10, it is doing a ftruncate which takes about 50 seconds to complete. It appears that Windows gets impatient and generates an error (while Samba is still waiting for the

Hello I've got some strange problems with Samba-3.0.4. When using roaming profiles, keyboard layout is set to english (instead of norwegian) and a lot of programs wont load correctly. Setting log level = 3 revealed a lot of errors after the netlogon-script had executed (and all shares correctly set up). I switched to log level = 10 to get a more detailed view of these errors (show below).

I'm still having some problems with 1.9.18p10 on a DEC Unix 4.0e machine (this machine was upgraded from 4.0d last week). The smbds can take up to 20% of the cpu at various times. Anyways, I've been through all this before with the mailing list and a number of people who have attempted to help me out. Thanks to all of you. But, I have some more info which may or may not be useful.

Hi, we have a strange samba locking problem with version 3.0. Sometimes user only get a read only access to files. This happens with different users on different clients. Unix permissions are OK.

Hello, I have an Lacie NAS disk attached to an Gigabit network.

Is anyone else experiencing problems with offline files and folders on Win 2K (SP4)? They are set up OK but when the Win2K machine goes off line and files are modified it won't sync back when back on the network. Error message from the file sync on windows is 'Access denied' (on the server) But I can easily do the overwrite manually so permissions are OK. Below is the log (level 10)
