I have some new information concerning this issue. I am now able to change both the samba and unix passwords as anyone but root. If I try as root I only am able to change the samba password but not the unix password. I can do this at the unix prompt as well as in swat. So it works but why root can't change both of them makes no sense to me. root can't even change both for root, although for security root shouldn't have a samba account but for testing purposes I set one up. I even commented out the, invalid users = root, line in the smb.conf with no success. Any ideas? Original question: >I give up. I had this working and now it isn't and I don't know why.
