Description Björn Jacke 2011-07-11 11:33:27 UTC 
using a "passwd program" prevents domain join and machine password changes because the "$" is being substituted by a "_":

[2011/07/11 11:55:03.301099, 10] smbd/chgpasswd.c:232()
  Invoking '/usr/local/smb/system/scripts/modifypasswd.pl 3042104x_' as password change program.

Jeremy, do you have an idea how to get the "$" back in here ?

What is your smb.conf. I used this:
    [global]
        security  =  ads
        workgroup = ATEST
        realm = ATEST.COM
        idmap config * : range = 16777216-33554431
        winbind enum users = Yes
         winbind enum groups = Yes
        winbind use default domain = Yes
        winbind nested groups = No
        passwd program = /bin/passwd %u
# net ads join -U

thix affects machine joins and machine password changes on a NT4-style DCs, I should have written that.
