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

[James Marcinek]

Here's excerpts of my smb.conf:

        passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
        passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

The only difference I have is the passwd program line:

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
