Hi.
I sorry I've already asked this question, but may mail server went down I I never recived a reply - so here goes again.
I have a Suse 7.3 set up af DC (Samba 2.2.1a), I've set password sync up and it worked perfect. Now "somebody" (moste likely me :o) ) have done something to screw up my passwordsync.
Heres what the log file gives:
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chgpasswd(451)
Password change for user: ltb
[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:findpty(98)

[2002/04/20 12:09:04, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:chat_with_program(322)
Cannot Allocate pty for password change: ltb
...
As it appears the password chat does not even start, it stop with Can't allocate PTY.
My Linux knowledge is quiet simple so I don't know what a pty is or what I should do to get it to work again - so if a kind soul out there would be so kind and point me in a direction :)
