[plug] Samba 3.0 and unix password sync

[Ben Jensz]

Hi all,

I've setup Samba 3 in a test environment and its pretty much fully 
working, apart from unix password sync.  If I turn off "unix password 
sync" and "pam password change", users can change their own users 
passwords from Windows quite happily, but if I enable either of the 
above two options to sync their SMB passwords with their Unix system 
passwords, password changing fails with a really descriptive Windows 
error along the lines of "Access denied".  The Samba logs say pretty 
much the same thing as well, so that doesn't help the matter either.

I'm using the tdbsam backend and I've gone Googling and read and re-read 
relevant sections of the Samba 3.0 official book (bought it when I was 
in Adelaide from Dymocks at LCA) and I can't seem to figure out what I'm 
missing...

It worked fine under Samba 2.2.x.... but doesn't seem to in Samba 3.

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA
