similar to: passwd chat???

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'd like to change Samba passwords from win95 and NT4 clients. I use security=user. I don't give shell access to every user, so they can't use smbpasswd. I've tested from a win95 client with the precompiled samba-2.0.4b.i386.rpm: net pass \\greg greg test1 test2 I'd used smbpasswd to change greg's password to test1 on host greg prior to this. Here's the smbpasswd

Hi, Following an upgrade to 3.0.23, it appears that my UNIX password sync/chat is no longer working (although I can't confirm it wasn't broken in 3.0.21, it was working before). The XP clients throw up a "no permission to change password" error when the users attempt to renew passwords. I've carefully checked my password chat script and it appears to be OK. The logs

Hi ... I am desperate now to solve this problem ... this is my absolute last resort attempt! I have read of the problem on a number of posts/newsgroups/webpages - but there a very little solutions - or causes - none of the solutions have worked for me! Basically my samba is happily running and I can connect to it fine from 9x clients and from 2k client as a workgroup. However..... If I try to

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

Hi ! I have a problem using an external script to change password : in smb.conf, i have : => passwd chat = "Changing password for*\nNew password*" %n\n "\nRetype new password*" %n\n => passwd chat debug = Yes => log level = 100 => unix password sync = Yes => passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd %u The script is called normally, and logs show that the

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. Enclosed you'll find additional information.

Hi All I am using the samba 3.0.14a RPMs installed on SuSE 9.2. I have a PDC running on one machine, using tdbsam as a backend - this has been running fine for months. I am not trying to set up a standalone server in another office, which should authenticate with the PDC using winbind, as per the "The 500-User office" chapter of samba by example :

Hi, I try to install my linux as PDC. I followed the samba project documentation and some other doc. My samba is 3.0.0 alpha2.4 My smb.conf is with the user securrity, domain logons etc...

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password

Hi, I recently set up NIS on a Solaris 2.7 box that is running samba 2.0.7 as a primary domain controller. NIS broke password changing from the clients (NT). When I turned on debuging, I see ...
