Hello,
I just start using Samba. I've installed Samba 2.0.2 on DG/UX. The file
service is working fine. However, I've problem to synchronise the SMB and
Unix passwords.
I generated the smbpasswd file by using command
# cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd
I've changed the permissions of smbpasswd and smb.conf to allow a normal
user to change passwords.
Then I log on as a normal user and run smbpasswd. After I put in old and new
passwords, I received the following error
$ smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The
specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for test
I check the /opt/samba/var/log.unxdg file, the following error appears
[1999/04/19 14:02:10, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(698)
check_oem_password: incorrect password length (-2092617017).
I've tried different passwords with different combinations and lengths. The
same error happens.
Here is my smb.conf for your reference:
[global]
status = yes
netbios name = unxdg
workgroup=domaina
security = server
password server = dc1
encrypt passwords = yes
server string = unxdg (%v,%h)
load printers = no
log level = 1
log file = /opt/samba/var/log.%m
message command = csh -c '/usr/bin/X11/xedit -display :0 %s;rm
%s' &
read prediction = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY
valid chars = \366:\326 \345:\305 \344:\304
share modes = yes
locking = yes
strict locking = yes
keepalive = 30
guest account = guest
domain master = no
local master = no
unix password sync = true
passwd program = /sbin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *password* %o\n *password* %n\n *password* %n\n .
passwd chat debug = true
Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.
thanks
Sam
