Hello 
I'm running an Dec Alpha with v4.0e (enh. sec and NIS SERVER). 
i want my Sambapasswd to call passwd to 
change the users password as he changes his password with 
samba. 
The main problem in this task is that passwd(as root) can't change a users
password.
As the manuals state that i have to use dxaccounts for this task, this isn't
possible, as i want sambapasswd to call this program. 
As i searched this mailinglist i found an old entry from 
1995 where this problem seemed to be unresolved. 
Is this a bug from Tru64 passwd (<> yppasswd) program. 
Or is this the wrong one to use when changing passwords for users as root
without knowing the old ones. 
  
Please HELP !!
