I use the following: unix password sync = True passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *ew*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *changed* passwd chat debug = True null passwords = Yes update encrypted = Yes It works nice with SuSE 6.4. Good luck, Manu Purple Shirt wrote:

I got a machine meant to have no remote login for root. It still accept root login over ssh though.

Got a SMB problem the samba list couldn't help me solve. Everything works except smbpasswd change and passwd sync with Linux. I log in as normal user and I go to "Change Windows Password" It changes it.

It though does not change the /etc/smbpasswd and also doesn't sync the /etc/passwd. There is no lines in the logs that the user ever requested action to change passwd's on the server.

I tried the following two passwd chat configurations. (Nobody us a NOPASSWORD guest.)

;smb.conf [global] workgroup = SHADOWWARRIOR guest account = nobody keep alive = 30 os level = 2 kernel oplocks = false security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd log file = /var/log/samba-log.%m lock directory = /var/lock/samba hosts allow = 192.168.1. interfaces = 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 load printers = yes unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

; chat for smb running not as root ;passwd chat = *old*password* %o\n *new*password* %n\n \ ; *new*password* %n\n *changed*

; chat for running smb as root passwd chat = *ew\spassword* %n\n *enter* %n\n *assword\schanged*

; usermap file - empty right now username map = /etc/smb.usermap

browseable = no
