Perhaps I'll supply an experiment do illustrate this: unix login works with password foo windows login works with password foo herkules:~# pdbedit -L -w sfroehli [returns hash value FOO] Changing password from within windows to bar herkules:~# pdbedit -L -w sfroehli [returns hash value BAR] unix login works with password bar windows login works with password bar herkules:~# smbpasswd sfroehli [assign password foo] herkules:~# pdbedit -L -w sfroehli [returns hash value FOO] unix login works with foo windows login does NOT work (neither with foo nor with bar) herkules:~# smbpasswd sfroehli [assign password bar] herkules:~# pdbedit -L -w sfroehli [returns hash value BAR] unix login works with password bar windows login works with password bar Changing password from within windows to foo herkules:~# pdbedit -L -w sfroehli [returns hash value FOO] unix login works with password foo windows login works with password foo I think this covers all possible transitions - and still completely puzzles me.
