similar to: unix password sync doesnt work

Hi guys, Back in the days i tried to configure samba 3 and I had problem with bugged unix password sync option. It didnt work. Is this problem solved in Samba 4? Regards

I have a problem with unix-samba password sync. It just doesnt work, when i use smbpasswd it changes only samba password, and not the unix password. In logs i cant find any error about passwd. Samba ver is 3.6.9-151. Here is [global] in my smb.conf [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP security = user encrypt passwords = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat =

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

I'm not sure when the last time I run smbpasswd to change the user password, however when I run it only change NT and LM hash attribute, not the unix passwd attributes. smb.conf: ... passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://127.0.0.1" unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/passwd.pl %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n

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. Trying to modify the Windows Networking password would usually return 'Incorrect password'. I get

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

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.

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. At the user workstation (Win XP) I receive "You don't have the permissions to change your password" and logged in on the server as the user I receive "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was

Hey all, I'd like to be able to sync up the smbpasswd file with the unix passwd file. I've read that I can do this with the option unix password sync set to yes. Here is the part of my relevant smb.conf: encrypt passwords = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n unix password

OK here's the problem: when i use the "smbpasswd" program it doesn't update the "passwd" file in /etc. What i want: The explicate conditions in which Samba to Unix password syncing will operate correctly on a Red Hat 7.0 (Guiness) distro with samba 2.0.7-21ssl (included in distro) IE: perrmissions on passwd and smbpasswd files, password program = ?, password chat =

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:

Hi, i've compiled samba 2.2.4 on a Redhat 7.1 machine, working with openldap 2.0.23. I also downloaded smbldap-tools from IDEALX which i fixed myself to fit my needs.

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

Dear all, Ubuntu 8.04 Server Samba 3.0.28a configured as PDC. I want to give options to samba users to change their own passwords and sync it with the unix passwords whenever they change it. I have used the following in my smb.conf file unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\ n

I have searched the list and have been unable to find a definitive answer to this problem. I am using Samba 3.0.2xx as a PDC. The server that runs this also happens to be a NIS master (not sure if this complicates matters or not). When a user's password is changed within a windows client that is part of this domain (i.e. using ctrl-alt-del), the password change correctly propagates to the

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

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

Does unix password sync still work in Samba 4.1.6? I'm trying to debug setting passwords on a system...
