Samba - problem granting access to users....

[linuxtricks]

I set up a Samba server on my Linux machine. I customized the /etc/smb.conf file... and set up 2 users using:<br>/usr/bin/smbpasswd -a<br>...and both users were able to access the machine.<br><br>&lt;approaching question&gt;<br>Then, the users, (using NT for their local desktop machines - authenticated by an NT PDC), were forced to change their passwords on their desktop machines (after a 60 day period).&nbsp;&nbsp;After changing their local passwords... they were no longer able to access the Samba server -&nbsp;&nbsp;(access denied).<br><br>Question:<br>How can I set it up so that when a user changes their local NT password... the Samba server will recognize this... and auto-sync the NT password with the Linux Samba passwords... and allow them access?<br><br>Otherwise...&nbsp;&nbsp;do I have to manually change the passwords on the linux machine so they will match?<br>Which password do I change on the Linux machine - the samba password or the user account password?<br>Do I need to create a local user account on the linux machine for every user I want to grant access to (using Samba)?&nbsp;&nbsp;Or just do a /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a (?)<br><br>wow.&nbsp;&nbsp;I'm lost!<br>help!<br> <p> <br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>&lt;i&gt;try not!&lt;/i&gt;<br>
&lt;i&gt;do... or do not. there is no try!&lt;/i&gt;
