I have a samba pdc running 3.0.4. I have users logging into the profile server and wanting to change there password. However when they try to change the password it asks them for the old and new password but says they do not have permission to change the password. I can change the password for them when I log into the pdc as root but when I try to do it as user it gives the error: machine

Salim, Yes I do have permission to run the passwd command as a local user, I can change the unix password just fine. It is when I do the smbpasswd command that that error comes up.

Howdy I've searched mailing lists and have not found anyone with the same problem (as far as I can tell).

Hello, I just wasted several hours trying to figure out why I could not change Samba passwords from Windows XP computers. I'm posting here so that there is some form of documentation about this on the web. My setup is basically this: - Samba 3.3.2 (running under Ubuntu 9.04) - OpenLDAP user database - Full O.S. support for OpenLDAP auth, using nsswitch and PAM. (My client

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

same results with our AIX 4.3.3. It seems the samba redirection of stdout and stdin (which seems to work with most unix platforms) does not work with AIX. I detected similar problems with redirection from java. I have created a patch for samba 2.2.2 to directly change the AIX password (using AIX-routines getuserpw and setuserpw). I think it will also work with 2.2.3a. Its not yet published on my

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

What is the preferred method of letting Win9X users changes their password? I Have the necessary settings on smb.conf (passwd chat, ect.) but still can't seem to get it to work properly. And trust me, if I upgrade the Win OS's, itll cause more confusion then needed. Kev
