Does anyone have any ideas what would cause the
following error when user tries to change their
smb password? The same error occurs when you use
SWAT also. But root does not have a problem changing
the passwords.
Has anyone seen this before, and what was the correction?

Resolution found on HP's ITRC
Use one of the following methods to resolve the error:
A. Change the UID for user nobody from '-2' to a positive number.
Note: The disadvantage of changing the nobody account from its
default is that it may corrupt NFS. It is recommended
that you use option B.
--OR--
B. Change the Samba 'guest account' option in
/opt/samba/lib/smb.conf
to an account with a positive ID, which must also reside in the
passwd file.
