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 =

Hi, in the last weeks I've unsuccessfully tried to get Samba (2.0.5a) - Unix (Suse 6.2) password sync working. Maybe somebody can give me a hint, what's wrong.

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

I am having problems setting up the smbpasswd command to sync the /etc/passwd and $SAMBAHOME/private/smbasswd files. My passwd program (/usr/bin/passwd %u) doesn't seem to want to wait around for smbpasswd to send it a second password for confirmation. I am running Solaris 2.5.1 (103640-23) on an Ultra 2300 and using Samba 1.9.18p10 compiled with gcc 2.8.1. I thought that I had this running

I have been trying for hours to get the unix password sync going properly with Samba 1.9.18p4 running on FreeBSD 2.2.5 I have compiled Samba with the ALLOW_CHANGE_PASSWORD option enabled. I created the smbpasswd file as ENCRYPTION.txt states, and can set passwords as root. However, when a user tries changing their password, it doesn't work. The error reported is:

Hello - hope somebody can point me in the right direction here. We use a SCO 5.0.4 box and samba 2.02, and when I try to get the passwd sync feature working, this is what my log file says:- (the user name is tnichols)- [1999/07/09 12:32:17, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(387) Password change for user: tnichols [1999/07/09 12:32:17, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(78) findpty: Allocated slave

Hi. Ive had UNIX passwd sync working using win95 clients and a samba (latest) SCO server. Then it stopped.

Hello again, I would like to thank Giant Wang and Miquel Bonastre for their responses to my query in "Samba Digest 1734" regarding simultaneous passwd changing for users via Samba. Their comments were helpful, but have not solved the problem. For those who do not have a back log of the Digests, the problem is that with unix password sync=yes, users are not able to change their own

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1. I want to change passwords from my win9X clients with the 'net password \\server user' command or the password dialog in the system setting. My globals are as followed.. security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd passwd

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

Hi All I've installed Samba 2.0.3 and coudn't put "unix passowrd sync" to work.

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

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've been running SAMBA 1.9.14 and 1.9.17p4 for successfully for some time. Recently I thought it would be useful to update to the latest SAMBA version 1.9.18p7. This is the first time we are using Samba with the built-in DES. Here is our configuration: Machines: IBM RS/6000 AIX 4.1.4.0 or AIX 4.2.1.0 Compiler: xlC 3.1.4.0 My smb.conf file: [global] printing = aix print command

I'm having problems with the username map feature of Samba. Everything was running fine in 1.9.18p7. After the upgrade to 1.9.18p8, the mapping no longer occurs, and I see errors in the log file: password server CSUNTS rejected the password get_smbpwd_entry: unable to open file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd I tried going back to 1.9.18p7, and sure enough things work like a charm.
