I am a Linux user operating in a NT-centric corporate environment. I have
samba running just fine for my needs. However, my Windows password is set to
expire every 3 months, which currently requires me to login to a WinNT
desktop and change the password. How do I change this password from Linux,
without logging on to an NT desktop?
I have been trying this (CXO-BRWSMSTR-1 appears to be the primary PDC-
how can I verify this?):
smbpasswd -r CXO-BRWSMSTR-1 -U BwHall
which fails with:
machine CXO-BRWSMSTR-1 rejected the password change: Error was : code 2221.
Failed to change password entry for BwHall
Raising the debug level didn't clue me in much. Is there a list of these
error codes somewhere? I couldn't find one via searching.
Please CC: to me as I am not on the list. Thanks!
