[Samba] Users unable to change their passwords using 200/XP change password dialouge.
I've just found out today that my system won't let users (2000 and XP clients) change their passwords.>From their consoles they get permission denied messages.Looking at the logs its clearly a Samba/PAM interaction issue but all looks OK in the pam.d directory. I've spent a few hours searching online but can't find anything that match's this scenario. Extract from users log follows: Nov 6 15:30:30 c2gs01 samba(pam_unix)[25685]: session closed for user root Nov 6 15:35:59 c2gs01 smbd[25869]: [2003/11/06 15:35:59, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_chauthtok(692) Nov 6 15:35:59 c2gs01 smbd[25869]: PAM: UNKNOWN PAM ERROR (19) for User: mariah Nov 6 15:35:59 c2gs01 smbd[25869]: [2003/11/06 15:35:59, 0] auth/pampass.c:smb_pam_passchange(848) Nov 6 15:35:59 c2gs01 smbd[25869]: smb_pam_passchange: PAM: Password Change Failed for user mariah!

If the pam.d directory looks 'OK', what is it? What does the 'samba' file say?
