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

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

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 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'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

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:

Is there a way to lock an EXE file on a shared volumn in such a way that only one person can use it at a time? With some kind of sharing violation happening if a second person tries?

Hi all, I seem to be having the same problem that another user (Thomas Dewar) posted recently. When I try to run smbpasswd as a logged on user (on this occasion as the it user logged onto the samba box) I get the following: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for it When I check the logs after enabling

The %o passwd chat parameter (current password) doesn't seem to be working in this release. I'm running a Redhat 9 system that seems to require it. Changing the %o to the current password allows everything to work so I'm pretty sure it is something related to that parameter. Is this a bug or am I just reading the log wrong? from smb.conf: unix password sync = Yes passwd program

Thanks running smbpasswd: /home/paul $ smbpasswd Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: machine

Hi all, I posted a message about this problem a couple of weeks ago without a response so I'm trying again. My problem is that samba does not seem to be running passwd as root when it tries to sync the passwords. For example, when I run smbpasswd as a user logged onto the samba box I get the following error: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified

Hi list, I have set up two Samba PDC networks for work with win XP clients. Each network is small, about 15 clients and three printers. Each uses a different distro (don't ask)--one is mandriva 2006 the other is debian sarge. Both have all updates. Both have working wins and dns on Linux. Mostly things work well, but I am unable to change passwords from the XP clients. The client will
