Hi,

I am running samba 2.2.8a with ldap PDC. From windows machine If I change
password by process CTL+ALT+DEL key its changing only windows password.

from command line  smbldap-passwd.pl  script changing the both UNIX and
samba password.

any idea why its not changing UNIX password?

Thanks
SR

Here my smb.conf file

encrypt passwords = Yes
 min passwd length = 5
 null passwords = No
 password server =
 smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
 pam password change = Yes
 passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl %u
 passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password*
%n\n*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
 passwd chat debug = Yes
 password level = 0
 unix password sync = No
 machine password timeout = 604800
