How do I change my password in Windows XP/ME client? I can't find any option.
What do I need to set at the client end? or server end? |
Which Windows XP is this? Microsoft removed domain support for XP Home. You will probably want to read the "Samba 3 by Example", "Using Samba" and maybe the "Samba 3 HOWTO & Reference Guide". Using Samba comes with Samba. Install the "samba-doc" package for the others. If you don't run "smbclient" to change a users password on the samba server, after they change it locally, you may need to configure samba as a Domain controller to enable network authentication. Then the users use the samba server for authentication when they log into their computer, rather than logging in locally. The Using Samba and Samba 3 by Example should step you through what you need to do in both Linux and windows.
Part of the equation is where the password hashes are stored for Samba users. If you have fewer than 20 users, you can use the smbpasswd file on the Samba server. This is the default. Other options include a samba password database, an ldap server or Windows AD server. You will porbably need to provide more information on the network you use presently. Are you adding a samba server to an existing network, or setting up a new network? What is used for authentication now?
