smbpasswd error
Hi Samba people I saw this as a problem in the archives about a month ago but no solution ? I'm running samba 2.2.10 on Solaris 8. We have a script to replace /usr/bin/passwd which changes the NIS passwd and then uses smbpasswd to change the user's smb password to the same thing. Some users are getting : NIS password changed for diane on cauchy machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password

Samba and DOS
Greetings, Is there any way to get Samba to interact with MS-DOS? I am attempting to turn a Linux box into a VPN router for DOS clients. What I need to know is, can I get a CIFS protocol stack for MS-DOS, is a TCP/IP stack sufficient, are there any other solutions anyone knows about? Thank You.

Please Help! Re: Using smbpasswd (fwd)
I am trying to get encrypted passwords working for a Linux/Samba server serving Win9x clients. We want the students to be able to logon either the Samba file system or the Linux server and allow the students to change their password from either. I would really appreciate any help on this matter. We need to get this working as quickly as possible as the old Netware server is on life support.
