samba - Nov 2003 - Is smbpasswd against windows 2003 server working?

Hi guys,

me again. Please, I would like to know if this is a bug/
incompatibility with windows 2003 server.
I would like that someone that has accounts stored on windows
2003 server make a test and try to change a password of one of
those users from a linux box using smbpasswd -r <w2k3_host> -U username.
For me it always complains about invalid username or password.
This work if I change a password of an user account stored on
a NT server, but not 2003 server.
Or anyone know another way to change an user password stored
on windows 2003 server from a linux box?

I'm deseperate and would appreciate any hint.

Thanks.

It is quite possible that they are not fully compatible, given some of
the new 'security settings' that Win2k3 PDCs use by default.  In
particular, smbpasswd -U -r uses a 'null session', which is defeated by
'restrict anonymous'.  

A kerberos password change might still work, and pam_winbind is
certainly a good option (Samba 3.0)
