samba - Mar 2002 - password synchronization - smbpasswd for ordinary users

I have Samba 2.2.3a running on Tru64 Unix v4.0f (?)
I have Win NT4.0 (sp6a) as our local PC OS.
I have created a Samba password file for users.
I've tried several permutations, but currently I have 

	security = user
	encrypt passwords = yes
	unix password sync = yes
	username map = /../../../usermap.txt

I also have standard password encryption on the NT side, i.e. not plaintext.
If I sync the PC password, Unix password, and Samba password, (by hand),
then I can browse to the user files on the Samba machine without being
challenged for password.
Sounds great.

But I can't seem to get smbpasswd to allow the ordinary user to change their
Samba password.
Any suggestions?

	smbpasswd -r localhost

should work.
