Windows sends passwords in an encrypted format that is not compatible with unix crypt. It has been done in the past, but there is no good reason to do it now. Use LDAP, once its set up properly its near impossible for your passwords to get out of sync. -- Michael -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

[Samba] using standalone unix passwords ?
Which cmd.conf option let samba use (/etc/passwd,/etc/shadow) passwords without need to smnpasswd ? Thanks Yakov -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
