[cobalt-security] FW: samba and unix passwd sync

["John Calderon" <john@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to link samba passwords with the passwords users are able to
change from
http://servername/personal password change page. I think it would be a good
idea for users to change passwords via a web+ssl link.

samba has ability to convert to unix password.  but nothing really exist to
have unix -> samba convertion.  I would think somebody has tackled this
problem before.  I am fairly decent with perl and think I have
figured some stuff out.  any pointers or modified scripts?  I am running a
raq3 fully patched.  but no service contract to worry about :(.
