Hi,

I hope I'm not showing my ignorance here, but I'm not following you on this
one.

Could be a little more specific?

Kevin

Hi,
 
Try looking at the parameter passwd chat = 
 
The man pages should help you out here.
 
Cheers

	I've got a Samba 2.2.7a domain with an LDAP backend.  It's been
working for
	nearly 3 months now without much bother.
	
	By the way: Great work and thanks for all of the effort!
	
	I have been missing one minor thing from the setup since I moved
away from
	NT 4: Password Expiration.  In the past I have posted questions
about this
	on the list and I've gotten two answers:  "Wait for 3." or "Write
your own
	script to do it for you."  Well, I sorta went the second route.
	
	By "sorta" I mean that I modified a pre-existing script to make it
do what I
	wanted it to.  What I did was this...I started with IDEALX's howto
and
	scripts to get things going.  I had Samba configured to use their
	"smbldap-passwd.pl" script to modify passwords.  That worked, I
could change
	any Windows account password from Windows or the command line and
indeed all
	three passwords for that user are changed (Unix, LM and NT
passwords).
	
	I later discovered the LDAP entry "pwdMustChange" while looking at a
user
	account one day.  When I set this to a date inside of 14 days from
today,
	Windows begins to barks about "Password will expire in X days" -
Great I
	thought I found my solution.  But the default password change script
	wouldn't modify this value.
	
	So I modified the script to where it would.  This is where my
confusion
	starts.  When I run my modified script from the command line, I get
the
	password changes I expect and I get the pwdMustChange date changes I
expect
	too.  "Cool!" I thought - things are coming together.  But when I
turn to my
	Windows machine (Windows 2000 or XP) and change my password all I
get is the
	password changes and the value for "pwdLastSet" being changed.
	
	HUH?  If Samba is being told to run my script in its configuration
file with
	"passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl -o %u", then why
doesn't
	it work like when I run it from the command line?
	
	To put it simply, when I run my script on the command line, it works
-
	exactly the way I want.  When Samba is told to change passwords from
a
	Windows machine, it either doesn't use my script or is passing some
other
	information that causes the script to perform differently.  In
either case,
	I have spent the better part of two days looking for cure to this
and not
	been able to find a solution.
	
	So, I'm hoping that someone here will be able to help me.  I have
included
	the smb.conf file and the modified version of the IDEALX
smbpasswd.pl script
	below.  Any help is appreciated.
	
	If it comes down to it, I (think I) can create a script that will do
what I
	need outside of the IDEALX stuff, but I would prefer not to as they
seem to
	work so well.

	=head1 NAME
	
	smbldap-passwd.pl - change user password
	
	=head1 SYNOPSIS
	
	  smbldap-passwd.pl [name]
	
	=head1 DESCRIPTION
	
	       smbldap-passwd.pl changes passwords for user accounts. A
normal user
	       may only change the password for their own account, the super
user
	may
	       change the password for any account.
	
	   Password Changes
	       The user is first prompted for their old password, if one is
present.
	       This password is then tested against the stored password by
binding
	       to the server. The user has only one chance to enter the
correct
	pass-
	       word. The super user is permitted to bypass this step so that
forgot-
	       ten passwords may be changed.
	
	       The user is then prompted for a replacement password. As a
general
	       guideline, passwords should consist of 6 to 8 characters
including
	       one or more from each of following sets:
	
	            Lower case alphabetics
	
	            Upper case alphabetics
	
	            Digits 0 thru 9
	
	            Punctuation marks
	
	       passwd will prompt again and compare the second entry against
the
	first.
	       Both entries are require to match in order for the password
to be
	       changed.
