I have a problem in which the Windows client isn't allowed to change the password in a direct manner. Using the Windows control panel, Passwords, I am only allowed to change the password by first changing the existing password to a blank password and then changing the blank password to the desired password. If I try to change the password directly I generate the error "smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(693) check_oem_password: incorrect password length (2143573292)." in the clients log. I am using Slackware 7.1 and Samba-2.0.7. Any help would be greatly appreciated... Thanks Loren caldwell@gnumax.com
