Hello,
On
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/4.0:_User_Management
it is described how to set up and use smbldap-tools package. The
question is, how to hide master passwords in such a case?
smbldap-passwd may be called by non-root; thus,
/etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind>conf
must be world-readable, and it keeps the passwords as plain text.
How can I allow users to change their passwords with smbldap-passwd
without compromising the security?
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Konstantin
