[Samba] Changing passwords under Win2K/WinXP (Samba 2.2.6)

[mkraus at capitalholdings.com.au]

G'day John and all...

Thanks for the hints... and I did a bit of poking around `man 5 smb.conf` 
...

I changed:

        ;sync Linux passwords
        unix password sync = yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* 
%n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\ *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n 
*passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
 
to:

        ;sync Linux passwords
        unix password sync = yes
        pam password change = yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* 
%n\n *passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updat
ed*successfully*

And it seemed to do the trick... Is it necessary to use `passwd program = 
/usr/bin/passwd %u` line with the `pam password change = yes` line now?

Thanks...

Mike

Yes, I the Samba server is the PDC.

Here's some excerpts from my smb.conf file:

[global]

        ; PDC and master browser settings
        os level = 64
        preferred master = yes
        local master = yes
        domain master = yes

        ;security and logging
        security = user
        encrypt passwords = yes
        domain logons = yes
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        log level = 2
        max log size = 50
        hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0

        ;sync Linux passwords
        unix password sync = yes
        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* 
%n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*ne
w*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd: 
*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*


I originally took these settings from an IBM Howto. However I'm wondering 
about the "security = user" part and the password chat dialogue.

Any guidance/help given appreciated...

TIA...!

Yes, with W2K, don't know about XP.  Are you setting Samba up as a PDC? If 


yes, I would have to say you have a problem with your password chat?
