Hello Everyone! I've spent quite a bit trying to get these shares to work just right. I'll past the output of my smb.conf at the end of this message. If anyone has any advice on this, that would be great. My first problem is that I'm trying to sync up my /etc/passwd with the /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. (I'm using Mandrake 9.0 and Samba 2.2.6-1.0.pre2.2.mdk. Mandrake puts the

I give up. I had this working and now it isn't and I don't know why. I was able to sync unix password using smbpasswd but now it won't work. When I run smbpasswd it changes the samba password but acts like it doesn't even see the parameters in the smb.conf to change the unix password. Here is a sample changing session: as400:# ./smbpasswd xxxxxx New SMB password: Retype new

Hi! I'm new in this list and i'm quite new to samba. I'm trying to configure samba as a PDC for a Windows XP network. Samba version: 3.2.5 on Debian Lenny 5.0.4 The domain works, as well profiles. The problem is the "unix password sync" options. My values are: |unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n

I have been trying to get the password sync working for Redhat 6.1 (samba 2.05a rpm). I got the PDC working this morning, so I'm happy. The FAQ section on the samba site was very helpful. The password sync was the only sticking point. The default passwd chat script didn't work well passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passw

Hi all, I'm using 2.2.3 on FreeBSD 4.5 RELEASE and trying to get 'smbpasswd' to change the encrypted password and the UNIX password (/etc/passwd). I'm getting strange behaviour. Having worked through debugging my 'chat script', I now have the following situation:- When unix password sync = yes smbpasswd works, but only the UNIX password is changed When unix password

Ive just discovered that my previous email is wrong - the password sync does in fact work under Solaris fine. What is happening however is that when I create a new account, and call smbpasswd $user as root, it only updates the SMB password and not the Unix password as well. I though I could change my call to /bin/passwd in my new user creation scrip with /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -a, but as

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:

I have some new information concerning this issue. I am now able to change both the samba and unix passwords as anyone but root. If I try as root I only am able to change the samba password but not the unix password. I can do this at the unix prompt as well as in swat. So it works but why root can't change both of them makes no sense to me. root can't even change both for root,

Hello all, I am running 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS and cannot get user passwords to change while unix password sync = yes. Setting it to no works, but I need it on.

Hello We have a FreeBSD server (7.0 BETA3) running as PDC (Samba 3.0.28) passwords stored in tdbsam. Theres are no problems for users and machines to log on to the network as long as they use the passwords I have made by smbpasswd -a username.

Working with my first Samba PDC using samba 3.0.3 on FreeBSD 5.2.1. Single subnet, handful of win2k and winxp boxes fully patched. Everything is working fine except the password sync. What do I have to add to samba (or windows) to set it up so when someone changes their password on Windows it updates the passwd and smbpasswd files automatically? Thanks.

Hi all, Sorry if this has been answered before, but I've searched Google and the archives and it hasn't revealed an answer to my problem.

Hi, I've been playing with the above release package, and everything works great. Domain logons with WinXP / Win95, file shares between WinXP / Win95 / Linux. That said, I cannot seem to get the above version of the software to play nice with the 'unix password sync' directive.
