Hi all, I posted a message about this problem a couple of weeks ago without a response so I'm trying again. My problem is that samba does not seem to be running passwd as root when it tries to sync the passwords. For example, when I run smbpasswd as a user logged onto the samba box I get the following error: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba 2.0.6 on redhat 6.1.

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

Hi list, I have set up two Samba PDC networks for work with win XP clients. Each network is small, about 15 clients and three printers.

Mostly things work well, but I am unable to change passwords from the XP clients. The client will

Hello!
