Hello all,
I recently installed White Box Linux with Samba as a PDC and am trying
to sync Samba passwords with the Linux passwords. I have the smb.conf
posted below. My questions are:
1) Do I run a 'smbpasswd' or 'passwd' to change the users password with
synchronization?
2) I get an error with smbpasswd:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The
specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for testuser
What am I missing? Could anyone point me in the direction of a URL or a
solution that will help me?
Thanks in advance
Ganesh
