Hi Robert,
I am running Version 3.0.2a. I did not add the version number as I would
have thought that it would affect any version that uses passwd chat.
Regards
Joe.

Hi,
Sorry if I am stating the obvious, but I could not find any info
anywhere
about this issue.
Just a quick email to alert people to the fact that some posts that I
have
been scouring over suggest that certain individuals are unable to add
users through usrmgr.exe. I have spent the last 4~5 hours hunting down
this very problem looking at permissions, groups and so on. So I thought
I
would pass the info on.
It would appear the problem can arise due to the passwd chat (when
called
as root). I am running Redhat 9.0 and the usual passwd chat is slightly
different to version 7.1 from which I took the smb.conf over from.
Keyword
(UNIX) seems to have been dropped.
I did read somewhere that some versions of unix/linux display ReType
instead of Retype, although I cant confirm this.
7.0 expects
*Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
7.1 expects
*Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
whereas
7.2 expects
*Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*password*
%n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
and
9.x expects
*Changing*password*for*user*%u.\n*New*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*password*
%n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
Dont have access to a version 8.0 box.
Hopefully this will save someone trawling though, passwd chat debug =
yes,
and 101 level debugs :-).
To:- samba-technical list.
Would it not be possible to say add a dummy user account, change the
passwd and capture the stdout, and delete dummy account, to populate the
chat script automatically?
Best Regards
Joe.
PS: I am not on list, so reply directly if you wish to make contact.
Hi ,nice to see that, but including the samba versions would be the more
related info ,instead of redhat versions
Regards
