Description of problem: I have set the smb.conf to be able to access the /etc/passwd file to update the unix password when the user changes the smb password with the smbpasswd tool. The smb.conf has the following: #These have been uncommented encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* % n\n *passwd :*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* passwd chat debug = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): samba-3.0.2-6.3E samba-common-3.0.2-6.3E samba-client-3.0.2-6.3E kernel-2.4.21-9.0.1.EL How reproducible: Every Time Steps to Reproduce: 1. The following have been uncommented in the /etc/samba/smb.conf file: encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* % n\n *passwd :*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* passwd chat debug = yes username map = /etc/samba/smbusers 2. I have added a user "user1" and given a password of "user1". useradd user1; passwd user1 3. Start the smb services service smb start; chkconfig smb on 4. Add the smb user "user1" with password "user1" smbpasswd -a user1 5. Add the user to the /etc/samba/smbusers echo "user1 = user1" >> /etc/samba/smbusers 6. Log in as user 7. Change password with smbpasswd Actual results: Old SMB password: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Error connecting to 127.0.0.1 (Connection timed out) unable to connect to SMB server on machine 127.0.0.1. Error was : SUCCESS - 0. Failed to change password for user1 Expected results: The smbpasswd command should have changed the smb password and the unix password. Additional info: There is no relevent infomation in the log files, I added the "passwd chat debug = yes" option and did not find that it increased logging very much.
