[Bug 24184] Re: Samba and system passwords should be synchronized.

[Steve Langasek]

I believe you will find that this bug is now resolved in hardy. :)  If
you install the samba server task, or if you use nautilus-share to
manage shares, the libpam-smbpass package will automatically be pulled
in, causing passwords to be synchronized between the system and Samba
password stores from that point on.

This is not installed by default because NTLM password hashes are weaker
than standard md5 passwords on disk, and because the Ubuntu policy is to
not listen on any ports by default; but if you choose to configure
filesharing, it should now be pretty seamless going forward.


** Changed in: samba (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Fix Released
