Description Martin Cerveny 2007-09-23 07:17:38 UTC 
Process like "net rpc user add user password" return NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED.
I use "passwd program" in smb.conf
Logs host.* contains "Error in ioctl call for slave pty" and "Could not re-direct stdin". 

On my Solaris 10u4 i need include explicit "#include <sys/stropts.h>" in file smbd/chgpasswd.c to get spawned terminal working (tcgetattr(3C)).

Sorry, correct statement:
Logs host.* contains "Error in ioctl call for slave pty" and "could not read default terminal attributes on pty".

I have the same problem with Solaris 8/10 at sparc and x86. The resulting error is that the "passwd program" is never executed because of the return false statement. Include of sys/stropts.h in chpasswd.c solves the problem.

SAMBA_3_2_0/source/smbd/chgpasswd.c?rev=23784:

	if (tcgetattr(0, &stermios) < 0)
	{
		DEBUG(3,
		      ("could not read default terminal attributes on pty\n"));
		return (False);
	}
