I am trying to setup libpam-smbpass to synchronize Linux and Samba passwords on a server. The intent is to have a single password for several services, but mainly Samba itself and mail. However, I am not having any real success.
In smb.conf I uncommented the following: unix password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = blabla.. With that I can easily sync from smbpasswd to passwd. The pam_smbpass library is installed. I moved the examples/password-sync to /etc/pam.d/samba. I commented out the line requiring pam_cracklib, which is not installed. I made sure I had the same password for Linux login and for Samba. But I can't sync from passwd to smbpasswd. And as long as the above lines are in smb.conf, I can still do smbpasswd to passwd. Remove them, and it's no good. I must have missed something. Any clues would be greatly appreciated. Best regards, Philippe Clérié ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
