Me 2 :)

We have some 800 users, I have changed the MAX_SAM_ENTRIES to 1000, but I
don't think that would affect this. Here are som params from my smb.conf:

        unix password sync = yes 
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u ; /root/Scripts/yp-restart
        passwd chat = *word: %n\n *word: %n\n *changed*

I have a username.map file..
