[sork] passwd: Problems with smbpasswd backend

[Oscar Retana]

It works for me. If you are authenticating with system users, samba must 
change the unix password too. So, I'm using these options in smb.conf.

encrypt passwords = Yes
update encrypted = Yes
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd chat debug = Yes
unix password sync = Yes

Besides, this is my backends.php file


$backends['smbpasswd'] = array(
     'name' => 'SERVER',
     'preferred' => 'true',
     'password policy' => array(),
     'driver' => 'smbpasswd',
     'params' => array(
         'program' => '/usr/bin/smbpasswd',
         'host' => 'host.domain.com'
     )
);
