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.

Yes.

Ok, thanks to all for this informations. But does it work as well if I have ldap and samba on different machines?

The smbldap-passwd utility provided with smbldap-tools will synchronize Samba and LDAP passwords. Alternatively, you can implement the smbk5pwd overlay.
