samba - Mar 2002 - passwd sync - troubles

Hello,

I am trying to change my passwd via windows password utility.  Here is
what I have set:
        passwd program = /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-passwd.pl %u
        passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*
        unix password sync = Yes
        passwd chat debug = yes

I am using ldap to store everything.  Auth works and the pdc stuff all
works great.
I have verified that the chat is correct.  And the passwd program works
standalone fine.  In my logs, i am seeing:
[2002/03/11 01:11:26, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(817)
  check_oem_password: incorrect password length (-1461780121).

I appreciate help anyone can provide.

Bit cryptic isn't it.

It means (you're gonna love this), that the old SMB password supplied
when you made the change password request was wrongly typed (more or
less)

This is based on my own testing and mightnot be exactly accurate, but
seems to correlate in all the tests I've done.
