[Samba] samba(3.6.4), with LDAP backend and sambapasswordhistory issue

[Kevin Taylor]

We would like to have password history working in our setup which is samba with Sun Directory Services 7.0 on the backend. Everything else seems to be working ok, but I notice that the sambapasswordhistory entry for any particular user is filled with 0's.

If I set the password for the account, then it's 16 0's, followed by a copy of the password hash, and the rest 0's.

If I change the password to something else, the history entry stays the same.

If I change the password back to the original, the second password hash that I entered isn't stored along with the original. It's 0's.

I've seen online that someone had this issue in 2005, but I didn't see any responses to this. Has anyone seen this or have a suggestion of what I can try?

Thanks for the help. 


we're using a history of 24 in case it matters...maybe that's a problem, should it be 23?
