That is because changing a password on a Windows system has nothing whatsoever to do with changing a password on a Linux system -- they're separate mechanisms and passwords must be changed individually on both systems.

Similarly, if you change the password in your Linux system it will not propagate to your Windows system.

So, log on to your Linux system and change the password there (with the passwd command).

I've never done it, but I believe, with the proper setup, you can have one update the other. But don't ask me how, the only option I've read about is to author you're own Perl script.

Good luck.

You may be referring to LDAP, the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. See http://www.openldap.org and there is a Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightwe...ccess_Protocol

It's not a walk in the park to set up or administer and I've more typically seen separate Windows, Linux and Solaris password administration.
