I have a tru64 5.1A system and I have samba 2.2.8 installed. I want to
use the password syncronization feature so that the windows style
passwords can simultaneously be changed with the UNIX password. We run
NIS and I think I've made the proper entries in the samba configuration
file, but it always fails. I've turned on all debugging and I see this
in my logs:
[2003/03/21 11:11:33, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(428)
Dochild for user djk (uid=0,gid=0)
[2003/03/21 11:11:33, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(209)
Invoking '/bin/yppasswd djk' as password change program.
[2003/03/21 11:11:34, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(264)
expect: expected [Old] received [Password unchanged. ] match no
[2003/03/21 11:11:36, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(264)
expect: expected [Old] received [] match no
[2003/03/21 11:11:36, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(276)
expect: returning False
[2003/03/21 11:11:36, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(302)
Response 1 incorrect
[2003/03/21 11:11:36, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(361)
Child failed to change password: djk
[2003/03/21 11:11:36, 3] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(406)
The status of the process exiting was 256
It looks like the spawned /bin/yppasswd process does not properly
communcate with the parent process -- when I invoke it in a shell, it
always prompts: Old NIS password:
The response the logs produce is the response I get if I run the yppasswd
program and just press return at each prompt, then the last thing it will
print is: Password unchanged.
Anyone know how to get the password synchronization with samba working ?
Thanks,
Dirk
