Additional info: 1) konsole output: Old SMB password: machine 127.0.01 rejected the password change: Error was: The specified password is invalid. Failed to change password for USERNAME (USERNAME stands for a real user name

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

Here is my scenario when a client wants to resolve a name on my local network: CLIENT --> VPN --> SAMBA --> DNS The client is set up like so: DNS1 = ISP DNS1 (204.26.64.1) DNS2 = ISP DNS2 (204.26.80.3) WINS1 = my samba1 (10.10.1.5) WINS2 = my samba2 (10.10.1.8) This all _seemed_ to have worked 3 days ago for roughly 6 months but stopped suddenly without me doing anything. When the

Hello, I am trying to join a 2000 box to my domain. I go through the steps and it tells me "Logon Failure:". I am guessing that if it got to this point, that a machine account exists and everything is good there.... I am using 'administrator' as the user. This user is part of the group 'Domain Admins'.

We recently migrated from WindowsNT to Samba 3.0.2a. After about two months, we have started to notice a weird problem. As user's passwords expire, they are prompted to change them. When they attempt to do so from Windows, they get a message saying "You do not have permission to change your password". However, the password IS changed. Both the Samba and LDAP Linux passwords are

Hello, I've Googled and done some mailing list searches, but can't figure out the following . When a user on a Windows 2000 machine attempts to change their password, the change gets applied to /etc/passwd, but not to smbpasswd.

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords.

Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for
