[GRLUG] Samba passwds

[Gary Greene]

Swat is effectively dead from the Samba project’s perspective, so I’d really not recommend using it considering how it has broken more than a few SMB configurations from what I’ve seen.

If your machines are set up correctly, syncing password changes from the host to the ADDS server (whether a MS one or one running SMBd) should just work if using the newer ADS protocols, since it uses Kerberos for password half of the authentication.
