Hello, "james.fogg" wrote: > passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd (this does exist here) I have the line: passwd program = /bin/passwd %u within my configuration ("samba-2.0.7", SuSE Linux 6.1). Perhaps you have to add "%u". Reason: "passwd" is executed "as root" if you are using "encrypted passwords" and "unix password sync". Bye, Steffen
