Hi all, I am using Redhat 9.0 as one of the server in win2k network. I want to give access for NT 5.0 users to access there home folders created on linux machine. Separate logins were created fro users on RH 9.0 system. I am facing a problem of sync smb passwd with unix passwd. Anyone can help me in above situation?

Hello Scott Max, I have a crude solution for your problem! Solution: Write an alias/script "passwd" which first calls PAMD's passwd program and then SAMBA's smbpasswd program in sequence. And if you want to write script; put the new executable script before the original "passwd" command in the $PATH env variable.

First of all you could investigate the option of importing all the winNT users to the Linux box using winbind which is part of the SAMBA project. That way, you do not have to create separate logins for the WinNT users. So no need to sync unix and smb passwords.
In case you do need separate logins, you can still sync the unix password with the smb password. Note that the synchronization will only work from smb to unix and not vice versa. Put the following line in smb.conf and synchronization will be achieved.
unix password sync = yes
For more information, read the SAMBA HOWTO.
