hi: after searching the mail archive, I found the same question was asked last month. and indeed samba4 didn't support "unix password sync" currently. I am surprised because it seems an very easy function => just call some external program when password change.
anyway, I wonder if there are some alternative ways to do this now? I found someone store the password in cleartext but that's not a good idea for me. in theory, can I install another windows 2008 R2 domain controller and use windows SSOD to do the job? and when samba4 finally has the ability to do the work, I can shutdown windows domain controller. is that workable? or I should wait for samba 4.1 or even 4.2? 2013/6/10 d tbsky <tbs...@gmail.com> > hi: > we have some service which store local password. and we want to sync > samba4 (4.0.5) passwords to them. > > when we use windows server before, we can use ssod and write our own > program to do that. > > at first I think it should be easy with settings like below: > > unix password sync = yes > passwd program = /share/bin/samba_passwd_sync.pl %u > passwd chat = *new*password* %n\n *changed* > passwd chat debug = Yes > log level = 100 > > but when I try to change password at windows ADUC nothing happened.
