[Samba] RE: [slugnet] Cannot change password!!!

[Elliot]

I have got it. It works now. The problem actually lies with the passwd
chat line. This applies to Mandrake Distro.

[global]
..
	  preferred master = yes
        logon script = netlogon.bat
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n
*passwd:all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
        security = user
...


Just wanted to share with you ppl.



Cheers

Elliot

Hiya Elliot,

I'm sorry, but I dun think you attached it at all. Which email client
are you using?? Outlook or Outlook Express?? Either way, I think it's
better if you try another method of attaching a file.

Ciao
