Hi All,

Running Breezy on AMD64.

Anyone know how to setup Samba such that is synchronizes its password list
with my Ubuntu box?

I want to be able to change my password in Ubuntu and have the password
updated in Samba.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Firstly I would advise a look at the following page:

http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/passdb.html

There are many different ways to do what you want. Personally, if you want a
simple system, I would advise creating a bash script which asks for the new
password, then runs the passwd command and the smbpasswd command, inserting
this into both - it should be no more than half a dozen lines of code.

Cheers
