Re: changing samba and ldap password at the same time

Hi everybody, I have a small question.

I have here a samba domain authenticating with ldap. If I now change the password for the regular LDAP user, it would be fine if the samba password would be changed at the same time. Can I do that with ldappasswd as well, and if yes, which parameters I need? Or do I still need smbpasswd to change it?

It would be great to do that 2in1 like..

If you enable the smbk5pwd overlay, and you change passwords using the LDAP password mod extended operation (ldappasswd does this, pam _ldap can be configured to do so), the slapd will change the samba password for you.
