Password syncing

[Tavis Barr]

I have a couple of questions about password syncing:

(1) The smb.conf man pages say that if unix password sync is set to True, 
then smbpasswd should fail to change the SMB password if it fails to 
change the Unix password.  Yet I can set "passwd program" to 
"/usr/bin/arbitrary", keep the same "passwd chat", and it still plows 
right along and changes the SMB password without touching the Unix 
password.  Does anyone know if this is normal?

(2) When I run smbpasswd, I get a message that says there is an attempted 
connection on port 445 that is refused.  Is it smbd that is refusing it, 
or should I check the restrictions on my ports?  Does it matter?

(3) Does anyone have a working password chat script for DEC Unix 4.0B?

I am using the 2.10 prealpha from the Head branch as of yesterday, 
running on DEC Unix 4.0B.  Below is the relevant part of my smb.conf file.


Thanks for any help,
Tavis
