I give up. I had this working and now it isn't and I don't know why. I was
able to sync unix password using smbpasswd but now it won't work. When I
run smbpasswd it changes the samba password but acts like it doesn't even
see the parameters in the smb.conf to change the unix password.
Here is a sample changing session:
as400:# ./smbpasswd xxxxxx
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user xxxxxx.
as400:#
When it worked there was a second Password changed for user xxxxxx
Nothing is logged in any logs so I can't tell what is going on. Here is my
smb.conf. Any help would be appreciated.
