machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change : Error was : RAP86 : The
specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for test
User can access unix system via Samba when password is changed by root but
cannot consistently change their own password (even after root changes it
for
them).
Appreciate any assistance on how to allow users to change their own Samba
passwords.
