UNIX->smbpasswd synch

[douglas irvine]

Well, that got rid os the suid problem... butmade another ;)  Now it is
complaining
"standard in must be a tty" as the error output from the su command run
from the pam_pwexport executed script. I think I might have to hack the
smbpasswd source to get rid of the suid check...

However if I do something inane like make an idiot script...


#!/bin/sh
u="gandalf"
su $u -c ls

...and execute that (not through pam_pwexport) it will run the su'd
command.
Try the same script through pam_pwexport and it gives the "std in must be a
tty"

I know I'm missing something here...but im'stumped again ;)

With Windows Millenium MS was able to get the boot time down to 25 seconds.
That's almost as short as it's uptime.
