[Fedora-directory-users] Samba LDAP password sync

Hi All, I've set up FDS as the ldap back end for a Samba PDC. It is working well, but I'm having a problem with Windows users changing their password from Windows. When I use "ldap passwd sync = yes" (in the samba config) Windows users receive an error message when they attempt to change their password. What actually happens is their Samba/NT passwords are changed, but the posix password is not. If I use "ldap passwd sync = no" (default) then the users can successfully change their passwords but, as per the smb.conf man page, only the Samba/NT passwords are changed, not the posix password. I have FDS, User Admin tool (Webmin - LDAP users and Groups), and /etc/ldap.conf set to use MD5 for password hashing. If, on the server I run "smbpasswd test_user" and attempt to change a user's password that way; it gives me the error: --------------- ldapsam_modify_entry: LDAP Password could not be changed for user test_user: Confidentiality required Operation requires a secure connection. Failed to modify entry for user test_user. Failed to modify password entry for user test_user --------------- It looks like FDS requires SSL in order for a user's posix password to be changed from Samba/Windows. I need to have the Samba and posix passwords syncronized. Do I need to set up SSL for that to work, or is there something else I am missing? I found a post where someone used "unix password sync = yes" with smbldap-passwd for the password program as a workaround for this same problem, but I would prefer the tidier and simpler "ldap passwd sync = yes". Has anyone run into this and figured out how to make it work? - Matt
