Vincent,

Have you checked your passwd chat parameter? This parameter has to be set on a
case by case basis, as Samba uses the Unix passwd program to change a user's
password; Samba doesn't have any internal Unix method to change the
password. Here's an example of what I use on my Red Hat 6.1 system:

passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *success*

YMMV, depending upon which version of Unix you are using. Have a good one!

  Greetings

  I am having a problem with the password sync for Samba2.2.1a .Although I seem
to have activated all the relevent options in the smb.conf file, Win2K client
gives an error stating that the old password is not correct.
