Re: [webmin-l] Change system/samba password via webmin

[Jamie C. <jca...@we...>]

Hi Ivan,
To have Webmin change the Samba password at the same time as the Unix pas=
sword, you need to go to the Samba module, click on the 'Configure automa=
tic Unix and Samba user synchronisation' icon, and select the checkbox to=
 have sync user changes.

That option you mentioned in smb.conf is for going the other direction - =
passing password changes from Windows clients to the Unix password file.

Hi List, first time posting here...

I need my users to change their passwords, so I defined them as webmin us=
ers
and gived them access only to the system/change password option to do so.=
 So
far so good... they changed their system passwords (in order to access
email) but the change it's not reflected in samba passwords. I defined th=
e
option change password in other modules in webmin but it doesn't works, I
also have in the smb.conf "unix password sync =3D yes" but the same.
I will appreciate if somebody can give me an idea about how to ride this,=
 or
maybe using another app? o_0

Thanks in advance.

--Ivan.
