[Samba] Users changing samba passwords directly from windows client

[Michael]

Hi Gémes Géza,

Thanks for you reply.

I suppose what you suggested would change windows-based password. I am actually referring to samba shares and accounts created on the Linux Box.
Normally these are done at the shell level, either at the console or through some telnet-equivalent approach.
My question is to ask if such password changes can be done without being at the console, nor using some telnet application.
I want to simply the task of password changes for the users who might, unfortunately, not be "Linux literate".

  Have you tried Settings->Control Panel->Passwords->Change other passwords->Microsoft Network blabla (for win9x/me) and
                        Ctrl+Alt+Del-> Change Password (for winnt/2000)?

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how I can enable windows users to change their samba passwords directly from their windows client?
    ie. they do not need to know the existence of the Linux SAMBA File Server.

    I am having a very simple smb configuration setup as below:
    [global]
    encrypt passwords = yes
    netbios name = mainserv
    workgroup = mygroup
    wins support = yes
    os level = 65
    local master = yes
    preferred master = yes
    domain master = yes
    oplocks = no

    [test]
    path=/home/bob/test
    read only = no
    admin users=bob

    [homes]
    browsable=no
    read only=no


    Any comments is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

    regards,
    Michael
