Synchronize passwd with YP passwd

[Christian Duclou]

Hello,

I think i've a solution.

I only tested the use of "smpasswd" on UNIX login prompt (connection
establish with telnet).

I did'nt tested that from a NT WorkStation, cause i have'nt active a
samba server as PDC yet.

I did that with these parameters:

# smb.conf      Samba config file created using vi
# from localhost (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 1999/07/22 16:45
# Version :     3.0
# Particularité : met a jour le mot de passe SMBPASSWD et UNIX par la
commande
#                       smbpasswd
# Test realise : OK - mise a jour du mot de passe a partir du poste
client
#                OK - connexion avec telnet du poste client
(/etc/passwd)
#                OK - connexion avec linux du poste client (NIS)
# Reste à faire : mettre à jour le mot de passe sur le PDC
#                       ( ... transformer le serveur SAMBA en PDC)
#                 Controler la securite de la commande ypmake

# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = ECOLE
        server string = CASSE TETE %v %m
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        update encrypted = Yes
        security = SERVER
        preferred master = Yes
        password server = SQL
        passwd program = /etc/samba/ypmake %u %n
        passwd chat = .
        passwd chat debug = True
        unix password sync = Yes

# !!! Think to put your network adress in place of XXX.YYY.ZZZ. on the
next line
        hosts allow = localhost,XXX.YYY.ZZZ.

[gf]
        path = /home/gf
        read only = No

[root]# cat /etc/samba/ypmake
# ypmake
#       Met a jour les mdp a partir de la cmd smbpasswd

# maj /etc/passwd
/bin/echo $1:$2 | /usr/sbin/chpasswd

# maj /var/yp/<domain>/*
cd /var/yp
/usr/bin/make

# code de retour 0 forcé
# car erreur de make non rédibitoire pour la mise a jour de
/etc/smppasswd
exit 0
