[Samba] copy of smbpasswd

[Tom Haerens]

Hi Chami,


I solved my problem too!

We use a cgi script (Changepassword) to allow user to change their 
passwords.

I found this in the Samba mailing list in an old topic:

"
[Samba] Re: /etc/samba/smbpasswd keeps changing - pulling my hair out


Apparently it has nothing to do with Samba, but with the
CGI script ChangePassword (http://changepassword.sourceforge.net) which
used the string "LTC" instead of "LCT" in smbpasswd entries. I edited the
affected smbpasswd entries and changed LTC to LCT, and now it works"


It seems Samba 2.2.5 doesn't mind that, Samba 3.0.2 does.


Cheers,
Tom
