Title: allow users to change password via ctrl - alt - delete
Post by: rcrcomputing on June 23, 2007, 09:49:09 AM

I've got the server up, got poledit loaded, but am obviously missing something really simple. Could someone tell me how to enable the users ability to ctrl - alt - delete, change password.

I'm getting "you don't have permision to change your password"

Note: Am new to domain via samba and/or sme

I saw a bug that fixed this,
upgrading the relevant smeserver- rpm and it'll just work
( find the bug, and post it back here please)

I think this is the relavant bug: http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3037

Which means: "The patch is included in the e-smith-base in the smetest repo (all standard warnings apply to testing releases)."

seems to be bug #3037
Worked for the user without me having to change any of the user settings in server-manager


Go to software installer
enable "sme server updates testing" repositories
enable individual package thingy
install e-smith-base

Now undo the repository changes.

If I knew yum, I'm sure a command line would have been much simpler.
like apt-get -t unstable install e-smith-base.   :)

Should I assume, had I simply waited, this would have come to the stable tree rather than the unstable (testing) tree?

Code: [Select]

yum --enablerepo=smeupdates-testing install e-smith-base(But I didn't understand my last post until after seeing yours...)

It seems that the bug is still there in SME 7.2?

I tried yum --enable.... e-smith-base with not success.

Any idea?
