Changing Samba password from Windows (ctrl-alt-del)

[Miguel Pereira Leite]

Hi there.

It's works... you just have to add something like this to your samba conf:

---SNIP----
# You may wish to use password encryption. Please read
encrypt passwords = yes
# The following are needed to allow password changing from Windows to
# update the Linux system password also.
# NOTE: Use these with 'encrypt passwords' and 'smb passwd file' above.
#        the encrypted SMB passwords. They allow the Unix password
#        to be kept in sync with the SMB password.
 unix password sync = Yes
  passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
----SNIP-----

And now your user can change both samba and unix password from the "change
password" feature on Win NT's... (w2k, wxp)
