[Samba] samba4 password sync howto?

[d tbsky]

hi:
    winbind and ldap authentication are both used when services are
supported. but some services has local password database and need external
script to sync them.

    I think it is not too hard if I don't want a perfect solution. if SSOD
can not work, can someone give me a hint which source file I can modify, so
samba can call an external script when password change.

    thanks a lot for help!!

Regards,
tbskyd

Hey,

I'm no expert on Samba 4 and I might be wrong but can't you use winbind for
that, can you?

Cheers.
