samba - May 2004 - Can't reset password from windows 2000, or from the samba pdc. Error from samba pdc: machine127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86:The specified password is invalid.

Salim,

Yes I do have permission to run the passwd command as
a local user, I can change the unix password just
fine.  It is when I do the smbpasswd command that that
error comes up.  Thanks for looking at this!
