I don't have a solution, but then apparently
neither does anyone else here! I wrote in
describing this same problem (on a Solaris box) a
while back, and several others since then have
noted the same thing, but so far the only real
response has been from Jeremy, who claims it works
fine where he is. If you or anyone else figure
this one out, it would certainly help a lot of
folks...

I am running Samba 2.04b on an HPUX D370
Server and connecting with NT
workstations (sp5).
I have used mksmbpasswd to transfer the
user accounts and set them
temporarily to null passwords=yes and
used '...NO
PASSWORDXXXXXXXX.....'. Now when I go to
set the user's password with
smbpasswd (through rlogin xterm window)
I get the following:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session
setup. Error was : code 131.
Failed to change password for *user*
(hosts allow 123.xxx.xxx.,456.xxx.xxx.,localhost)
Of course when I remove 'localhost' I
get the following:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the tconX on
the IPC$ share. Error was :
ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password -
name/password pair in a Tree Connect
or Session Setup are invalid.).
Failed to change password for *user*
Can someone please tell me if I have
missed a step somewhere...
I can change the passwords as root and
all the Shares work properly.
==smb.conf= [global]
workgroup = ******
encrypt passwords = Yes
null passwords = Yes
os level = 34
preferred master = Yes
