Patrick,
I just had the same problem recently, and I'm running the same
version of Red Hat, and Samba as you. Here's what I have in my smb.conf file
;sync UNIX passwords with Samba passwords.
;this lets users change their passwords through MS intereface
smb passwd file = /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd
unix password sync = Yes
password level = 4
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
;PASSWD CHAT line must all be on one line
passwd chat = *password* %n\n *password* %n\n *updated*
The "password level = 4" attempts variations in case for the users
passwords. My users couldn't change their passwords through Windows until I
added that line. I'm not sure if that is what you are trying to do, but I
was able to get the chat sequence working as shown above, even though it is very
minimal. Hope that helps.
Brian
