samba - Mar 2000 - Win 98 password changes - Help!

We've got Samba 2.0.6 running as a PDC, Windows 98 clients domain logins.

Works beautifully except for changing password - when changing passwords
through Control Panel | Passwords, Win98 says 'Unable to change password for
Microsoft Networking because of the following error: Incorrect password'.
As it happens, the supplied password is correct. smbd log as follows :

[2000/03/13 12:50:34, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(699)
  check_oem_password: incorrect password length (-1423948563).

Any clues?

regards
Ian.

I seem to have the same problem.

I know that this may sound strange, but I sit here reading all the messages from
people who have problems with getting passwords changed using the windows client
tools.

I use Red Hat 6.1 with SAMBA 2.0.6 and this is all that I did to get it going

passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *updated*
unix password sync = yes

I had problems when I tried to do wild cards for the full output of the passwd
command, so I cut the script down to the above, and it works fine.

Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
