Hello all, Customer has found a problem using netpass to a PATHWORKS V6 for Digital UNIX server. netpass reports LM password changed successfully, then... Server \\<servername> is an NT server, no UAF password required. Netpass is V6.0.002 which is the latest version I can find. PATHWORKS for Digital UNIX V6.1. Any ideas would be appreciated, Richard Walker. (Cross-posted in PWDOSWINV5)

Oops. Sounds like NetPass asks the server what it is and it returns 'NT'.
There is an entry in LANMAN.INI on the server which tells the server what
string to display (look in Appendix D of the sevrer admin guide). This may
help (it may not).
Alternatively, use my WinPass program which does the same thing under
Windows (\\WELPCP\WINPASS)
\\16.183.48.114\WINPASS

I think you mean the srvcomment field? I can't believe netpass would check
this.

This customer would rather not use other software to accomplish this.
According to the SPD it should work without WinPass.
The release notes explain how to set it up so I assume it has been tested and
found to work OK.
Does anyone have this working without WinPass?
Thanks,
Richard Walker.
Taken from 6.1 SPD:
LIMITED NIS PASSWORD PROPAGATION
Changes to users' network password initiated from a PATHWORKS LAN Man-
ager client can be propagated to both the users' associated UNIX ac-
count password and their NIS password.
Taken from 6.1 ECO2 release notes:
1.1.24 NETPASS Requirements
The following are guidelines and restrictions for using the
NETPASS command.
- The NETPASS command requires an activated guest account
on the server with a null password which is active (i.e. not
expired).
- The NETPASS command changes both a user's DIGITAL UNIX
and PATHWORKS Advanced Server password if the hostpasswordsync
keyword in the [lmxserver] section of the lanman.ini file to
is set to yes. The default value for this keyword is no.
- The NETPASS command, on DOS machines, works only when the
password is entered as a quoted string, or when you let the
NETPASS program prompt you for the old password. This is
because DOS automatically converts the old password to an
uppercase string, and DIGITAL UNIX is case sensitive.
To use NETPASS on DOS, you must use the following syntax:
NETPASS \\system_name user_name "oldpassword"

>netpass reports LM password changed successfully, then... The LM passwd is changed anyway. Does it synchronized with Unix ? (I can't test it at this time) Jean-Pierre | |||||

> Does it synchronized with Unix ? (I can't test it at this time) No. It reports that: Server \\<servername> is an NT server, no UAF password required. and does not change the Unix password. Also, this server is the PDC and there are no NT servers on the network. | |||||
