[Samba] Unix Password Sync Question

[David Lloyd]

I have:

[global]
log level = 3
netbios name = CAIRO
workgroup = EGYPT
server string = %h server (Samba %v)
guest account = nobody
invalid users = root
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 1000
syslog = 0
passdb backend = tdbsam
security = user
encrypt passwords = true
name resolve order = bcast
add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u                                    
unix password sync = yes                                     
passwd program =/usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = \
*Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:*%n\n*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .
passwd chat debug = yes
obey pam restrictions = yes

...now for the life of me I can't get smbpasswd to trigger the passwd
program.

Here's a few things I've tried:

 * Add a user "lloy0076"
   - smbpasswd -a lloy0076
 * Change said user's password
   - nothing gets entered in the logs
   - the Unix password stays the same
   - the Samba password is changed
   (verified by using smbclient with new password and it works)

I've changed passwd program to:

 passwd program = touch /tmp/%u

...and nothing is enter in /tmp/%u.

I'm not sure what's up.

Version of samba is:

mordor:~# /usr/sbin/smbd -V
Version 3.0.0-Debian

...I can't find any obvious bugs on bugs.debian.org that might cause this.

Anyone got any suggestions?
