[Samba] Re: unix password sync trouble

[Niels Laukens]

Thanks to everyone who looked at my post!
I found the solution myself. For those who want to know:

The problem was that the pts-filesystem:
* it should be in the kernel (2 options: the filesystem and the
device)
* it should be mounted under /dev/pts

Cheerz,
Niels
