style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">Unless you've configured samba to authenticate with PAM (is that even possible?), you will need to run the 'smbpasswd' command for each user to build a samba password file. It is possible to get samba to update the PAM password when the samba password is changed from a Windows box. I don't quite remember the incantation for that. But, suffice it to say that you're going to need an smbpasswd file.<br><br>Cheers!<br><br>Bob<br><div> </div>--<br>"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."<br> --Leonardo da Vinci<div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Robert Wolfe
