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

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. The error I receive from Windows is: "The system cannot change your password right now because the domain .. Is not available". (The domain is

I just downloaded and installed Samba 3.0.3 and it still doesn't fix the problem caused by the windows update discussed in KB828741. Still getting the message "You do not have permission to change your password" on some boxes, or "The system cannot change your password because the domain DOMAIN is not available" on others. Uninstalling the update still works, however this

I've been running samba (currently 2.2.3a-13 for Debian) as a PDC with W2k clients for over two years. The system was up and running quite well for a long time. A couple of days ago, I installed the following MS-patches: MS04-011 MS04-012 MS04-013 MS04-014 MS02-011 Now when users try to change their password from the w2k clients using CTRL-ALT-DEL, a popup window appears saying:

Hello, I'm new to samba. Trying to get it running on Solaris on Intel using NIS+. I configured it with the --with-nisplus --with-nisplus-home and --with-automount.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have a SAMBA (samba 3.0.0) with PDC configuration where users are stored with smbpasswd in /etc/samba/smbpasswd.

I have a problem in which the Windows client isn't allowed to change the password in a direct manner. Using the Windows control panel, Passwords, I am only allowed to change the password by first changing the existing password to a blank password and then changing the blank password to the desired password.

Hello, I just start using Samba. I've installed Samba 2.0.2 on DG/UX. The file service is working fine. However, I've problem to synchronise the SMB and Unix passwords.
