samba - Jun 2003 - Samba 3.0.0beta1 problems when using 'unix password sync'

Hi,

I've been playing with the above release package, and everything works
great. Domain logons with WinXP / Win95, file shares between WinXP / Win95
/ Linux.

That said, I cannot seem to get the above version of the software to play
nice with the 'unix password sync' directive. Trying to modify the
Windows
Networking password would usually return 'Incorrect password'. I get the
same failure with WinXP, except the error is slightly different, but same
result. I have narrowed down the problem to the above directive, by
commenting and uncommenting other things in my 'smb.conf'.

But, when I use the exact same configuration file with Samba v2.2.8a,
everything works dandy like. Changing passwords is good, and it syncs
properly with '/etc/shadow'.

My 'smb.conf' is attached to the email. Samba was built from the
relevant
sources, my ./configure line was :

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/opt/samba --with-pam --with-pam_smbpass
--with-syslog --with-quotas --with-acl-support --with-sendfile support

That was the generic one used with both Samba builds, the 3.0.0beta1
configure line was slightly longer, I also included winbind and a number of
other things for kicks. Platform is RedHat v9, all errate packages applied.

I've gone through Aimsgroup's archives, but cannot see anything which is
related :-\ Nothing noted via a cursory look through Bugzilla either.

Insight would be much appreciated, thanks!

I'm such a nitwit, here's the logged entry in
'/var/log/messages' btw :

Jun 12 15:33:30 cookie smbd[5679]: smb_pass_passchange: PAM: Password
Change Failed for user tester!

I did run across another post by someone which said they used
"/usr/bin/passwd %U" instead of "/usr/bin/passwd %u", and it
worked for
them (problem with the sync directive also); but I've tried that, and the
result is negative.

My smb.conf is listed below. I've wrapped the 'passwd chat' line.
