[Samba] External password sync, unix password sync / passwd program

[Nick Semenkovich]

Hi:

I've been trying to set up external password sync to Google Apps -- and
went so far as to write a script, before realizing "unix password sync" and
"passwd program" etc., don't seem to be working in samba 4.2.0 rc2 in AD DC
mode.

I also stumbled on this prior list posting saying unix password sync
doesn't work -- though the MAN pages suggest this is supported:
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2014-March/180271.html


Are there any plans to support unix password sync while samba is an AD DC?

Alternatively, is there a better way to intercept changed samba passwords
for sync with other services?


Thanks!
Nick
