Hi List,
I have FDS configured in the server. There are windows and Linux client in
our network. Windows users also have Linux.
Linux clients are authenticating to fds. Samba server is running in a
different server and refers to the fds server(ldapbackend). For windows i
had to create a separate password with smbpasswd -a username for each user
which means samba password can be different from Linux password. Also the
password policy doesn't apply to the smbpasswd i create.
Is there a way to use one password for both windows and linux logins?
it seems
imposible.
btw on my system (postfix+dovecot+squirrelmail+FDS+samba) i'm having the
same problem.
on sysadmin side that should be no problem at all because by using
webmin the userPassword and sambaNTPassword+sambaLMPassword is always
syncronized.
the problem was on user side (windows user), when they change their
password it only change sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword. this
problem should be solved too by using option "unix password
sync"+"passwd program"+"passwd chat" on samba so that
userPassword can
be sync.
but i'm having error message "you do not have permission to change
password".
on samba guidance when "unix password sync" set to "yes" the
"passwd
program" must be run as root. but i can not find any guidance on how to
run it with root permission.
does anyone know how to solve this problem?
thanks
sigid
