Thu, 09 Apr 2026 17:31:34 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/40 smbpasswd on Solaris 8 I could not get smbpasswd password changing to work from horde. I added some debugging lines and found the problem: Line 48 of passwd-2.2/lib/Driver/smbpasswd.php reads... $cmd = $this->_params['program'] . " -r " . $this->_params['host'] . " -s -U \"$user\" &> $tmpfile" When I changed it to... $cmd = $this->_params['program'] . " -r " . $this->_params['host'] . " -s -U \"$user\" > $tmpfile 2>&1" ...I was able to change my smb password. The problem is that the version of /bin/sh that comes with Solaris 8 does not support "&>" I have tested this outside of horde with a simple script: #!/bin/sh echo "hello world" &> /tmp/output.txt exit When I execute it, instead of "hello world" being placed in /tmp/output.txt, it is printed to the console. If I change the first line to #!/usr/bin/bash the output is placed in /tmp/output.txt as expected. This leads me to believe that quite simply "/bin/sh" does not support this syntax on Solaris 8. The replacement syntax I used above is platform independent. Since the rest of smbpasswd.php depends on the output being stored in $tmpfile, it won't work on Solaris 8 until it is changed. (I obviously changed this on my own install). ~ Chris Tue, 30 Mar 2004 04:00:28 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/40#t178 Try Passwd 2.2.1-RC1.
