Re: [Samba] smbpasswd -a -m machine fails: "Failed to modify password entry"

Hi, Please put the machine accounts into the People (in your case the 'accounts') container. This is a known bug in Samba-3 - it does not search the Computers (in your case 'hardware') container for computer accounts. This should solve your problem. - John T. On Sat, 27 Dec 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTE
