Hi List, Since second semester of 2006, i'm trying to config Samba(PDC and BDC) + Fedora Directory Server. Some informations: SO: Cent0S 4.3 x86_64 Fedora-DS(Ldap) with Simple Bind Samba 3.0.10 (I'll upgrade it in next CenOS version) password hash: Crypt (Linux, Fedora-DS and Samba) Problems: 1 - [root@netuno1 ~]# passwd samuel Changing password for user samuel. Enter login(LDAP) password: New UNIX password: Retype new UNIX password: LDAP password information changed for samuel passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully. Why this line "Enter login(LDAP) password:", if is root that is changing the samuel's password? It does not happen when the user is from /etc/passwd!. 2 - Depend on pam_passord (howto:wiki sugests exop) parameter smbpasswd fails: [root@netuno1 ~]# smbpasswd samuel ldapsam_modify_entry: LDAP Password could not be changed for user samuel: Confidentiality required Operation requires a secure connection. ldapsam_update_sam_account: failed to modify user with uid = samuel, error: Operation requires a secure connection. (Success) Failed to modify entry for user samuel. Failed to modify password entry for user samuel 3 - When user try to change his password using CTRL + ALT + DEL from windows, after typing the passwords: If ldap passwd sync = yes is set in /etc/samba/smb.conf, it returns the message: current password or user's name is incorrect, in other hands, if unix password sync = yes (password chat ...) is set, it returns the message: you do not have permission to modify the password, and only samba passwd is changed (in both cases). I need userPassword for single sign on because i use other services. Why the smbldap-passwd always runs ok from the prompt and not from the password program parameter ?! I could see in the web that many people using Openldap, also have (had) the same problem. I am despaired, because i am has much time without obtaining the solution for this problem. Please, help me! What to do? Grateful for your attention, Agnaldo Freitas
