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

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

I could not find any reference to this in the list archive. I am setting up SAMBA on an IRIX system. The passwd command does not say "Password changed" or similar at the end, it just ends. However, if the command fails for any reason (unable to get a lock on the passwd file, for example) it does report that. My problem is that I cannot see any way to get the passwd chat string 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
