Now that's confusing [subject & body]!I am using samba with security =domain. How to change password from windows98 machine so that it will change to Linux machine? One more thing it will change Linux user password on Linux server or samba user password?
Anyway here's how I do it:
security = domain - If I have a NT server with users setup & I add a linux server on the same network. The linux box needs to be added properly to the NT Domain for this to work. The users [Win9x] trying to access linux box will be refferred to the NT server for authentication by linux.
security = user - This is the default setting. Here Linux is the boss on the network. Users must first log on to the linux box to get access to the network.
security = server - This will work with any SMB server on the network. Linux will validate the users from the other server.
Look up smb.conf(5) for the details.
To change password:
Change only SMB password
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
Change SMB & Linux
encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
password program = /usr/bin/password %u
password chat = *New*password* %n\n *new*password* %n\n *successfully*
unix password sync = Yes
