-Summary:
smbpasswd on Solaris 8

Comment by chris at huyler.net on Mon Mar 29 20:00:28 2004 (today):
I could not get smbpasswd password changing to work from horde.  I added
some debugging lines and found the problem:

Line 48 of passwd-2.2/lib/Driver/smbpasswd.php reads...

      $cmd = $this->_params['program'] . " -r " . $this->_params['host'] .
             " -s -U \"$user\" &> $tmpfile"

When I changed it to...
      $cmd = $this->_params['program'] . " -r " . $this->_params['host'] .
             " -s -U \"$user\" > $tmpfile 2>&1"

...I was able to change my smb password.  

The problem is that the version of /bin/sh that comes with Solaris 8 does
not support "&>"  I have tested this outside of horde with a simple script:

#!/bin/sh
echo "hello world" &> /tmp/output.txt
exit

When I execute it, instead of "hello world" being placed in /tmp/output.txt,
it is printed to the console.  If I change the first line to #!/usr/bin/bash
the output is placed in /tmp/output.txt as expected. This leads me to
believe that quite simply "/bin/sh" does not support this syntax on Solaris
8.  The replacement syntax I used above is platform independent.  Since the
rest of smbpasswd.php depends on the output being stored in $tmpfile, it
won't work on Solaris 8 until it is changed.  (I obviously changed this on
my own install).
