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

However, I am getting an 'access denied' type message. I am pretty sure my /etc/samba/samba.conf file is set up correctly. This is a Debian Etch based Samba box.<br><br>TIA for any help/advice anyone could provide.<br><br>-- <br>Robert Wolfe <<a ymailto="mailto:robertwolfe@localnet.com"
