Hmmm... So you *do* are changing the smbpasswd in your CGI script... I wouldn't recommend it...

The fact that Slackware doesn't support PAM is really a suprise to me... I've been using PAM for a long time and actually can't think how it can't be in Slackware...

Anyway... If you were using PAM, you could place a pam module that reflects the changes on the user password to the smbpasswd file. (I know such module exists, just don't remeber its name).

"Fixing" your Slackware to include PAM is possibly a good idea, or else you'll have to stick with this insecure approuch of changing this files directly...
