Re: Samba and /etc/passwd

I also run NIS, and whenever I change passwords (with yppasswd), the
password changes for both.

 What windows dialog do you mean?
 
 Anyway, I set unix password sync = true and tried to change passwords
 using smbpasswd. But I always get
 
 smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The 
 specified password is invalid.
 
 Any ideas what could be wrong?

  I'm quite puzzled since I cannot find the answer to what seems to be a
  faq: I want that samba uses /etc/passwd and not /etc/smbpasswd to
  authenticate a user. How do I do that?
 
 You can't.

So every user has to use passwd AND smbpasswd every time he wants to
change his password?

Not necessarily.  You don't have to use the same password for login
and for samba.  (Indeed, one could argue that this is a Good Thing.)
