I have Linux acting as the server for a small office of about 5 client Windows PCs. I am using Cyrus IMAP, SAMBA (SMB for windows browsing of network drives), and telnet access to a shell for a few people. To set and change passwords I have: - Cyrus IMAP uses saslpasswd. SAMBA uses smbpasswd. shell access uses passwd.
I would like all 3 to use the same password method. Is this possible ? Is there any common authentication which all 3 can use ? I am trying to use linux as a drop in replacement for Windows NT/2000 server for simple file sharing and imap email. Everything works pretty well, apart from having to have 3 different passwords for each user. :-( Can anybody help me ? Cheers James -- Nothing in this world is exactly what it appears to be.
