Hello,
I am running Samba 2.2.3a-6 on a Debian(testing) machine.
It is running as a PDC for 15 Win2K(SP2/3) systems. Everything runs
beautifully except the users cannot change their passwds. When a user
CTRL-ALT-DEL and change passwd they ultimately get a messages stating that
the old passwd is incorrect....
If I log into a shell as a user on the system and invoke smbpasswd, It
goes through all of the motions of asking for the old and new passwds,
then it hangs for about 15-20 secs. While its hung, if I invoke `ps auxw
| grep passwd` I see this:
sc 1567 0.0 0.2 2840 1340 pts/1 S 22:46 0:00 smbpasswd -D10 root
1569 0.0 0.1 1720 712 pts/0 S 22:46 0:00 /usr/bin/passwd sc
Everything looks good because I have "unix passwd sync = yes" and I see
that the system passwd command is running as root(good) as well as the
username is being passed to it.
After the 15-20 sec wait smbpasswd eventually returns stating, "Password
changed for user sc". The thing is that neither the samba or the system
passwd is changed, and whats more, the system passwd command is still
running in the background until I kill it manually.
Has anyone seen this or know what is going on?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below are my [global] settings.
Thanks
