Hi All

I've installed Samba 2.0.3 and coudn't put "unix passowrd sync" to
work.

I set:
  passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
  passwd chat = *New*password:* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password:*
%n\n*changed.*
  passwd chat debug = Yes
  unix password sync = Yes
  log level = 100
 
The password page says "The password for 'user' has been changed".
In fact it has been changed ! But only in smbpasswd. System password remains
untouched.

The log file has no reference to "password chat" string. It seems to me
that the passwd program is not been executed anyway.

Is there any other thing to do besides ./configure; make installbin ??

I searched thru smbd binary and the strings refering to chgpasswd.c are
there. So the code was compiled with system password change support.
Any soul to the rescue?

System: Linux 2.0.36 

Best Regards
