Is anyone using the unix password sync option in Samba? I seem to be
having some problem configuring it. I have debug log level 100 on, and as
far as I can see, samba isnt going anywhere near /usr/bin/passwd.
Here's my entry in smb.conf:
unix password sync = true
passwd chat debug = yes
log level = 100
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password* %n\n *changed*\n
And some possibly relevant log entries:
doing parameter passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
doing parameter passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Re-enter*new*password* %n\n *changed*\n
startsmbfilepwent: opening file /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
getsmbfilepwent: skipping comment or blank line
getsmbfilepwent: returning passwd entry for user admin, uid 101
found by name: admin
endsmbfilepwent: closed password file.
