Fw: Remote Password Change from WinNT

[Christoph Zwerschke]

  (Configuration:
   Server: Samba 2.0.3 on Solaris7,
   Client: WinNT 4.0 with SP3,
   encrypted passwords)


I'm still having a problem with changing server passwords
remote from WinNT 4.0 clients.

To change the password I use NetUserChangePassword
or Ctrl-Alt-Del -> Set Password (see also MS Q165384).

Both works fine, when I am not logged in to the Samba
server. But as soon as I am logged in, this doesn't work
any more. This seems having to do something with
the fact, that in the latter case, Samba tries to open
a connection with IPC$ and no user name. Somehow
it doesn't get the proper authentication to log in and
issue the SetUserPassword command, although the
authentication should be even surer in the latter case
(already logged in) than in the former (no log on)!?

I'll send a copy of this message also to
samba-bugs at samba.org.
