[Samba] changing passwords from Windows XP Pro workstations

[Eric J. Feldhusen]

On a RHEL4, with Samba 3.0.10, I have the following password options 
below.  I just tested and with a WinXP Pro client, I did the 
ctrl-alt-delete and changed my password.  Once I did that, I ssh'ed into 
the box and it used my new password.


[global]
encrypt passwords = yes

null passwords = yes

obey pam restrictions = yes

passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n*ReType*new*UNIX*password*%n\n 
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*update
d*successfully*

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u

unix password sync = Yes
