Hi-
I am running Samba 2.2.5 on Solaris 8 with winbind and pam configured. I
have the following in my nsswitch.conf:

passwd:     files winbind
group:      files winbind

Now local users on the Solaris 8 machine cannot change there password using
the passwd command:
Here is the sample output:

# passwd michasp1
Enter new password: 
Enter new password again: 
Supported configurations for passwd management are as follows:
    passwd: files
    passwd: files ldap
    passwd: files nis
    passwd: files nisplus
    passwd: compat
    passwd: compat AND
    passwd_compat: ldap OR
    passwd_compat: nisplus
Please check your /etc/nsswitch.conf file

Does anybody have a workaround solution for this or I am doing something
wrong?
Thanks
