I'm apparently not the first person to have this problem, but I can't find a fix for it anywhere on the web, or in Usenet. Here's the scenario: I upgraded from 2.2.8a to 3.0.4 during a recent hardware move. All of my client machines are connecting properly, but my users can't change passwords from their WinXP clients now. (Client error message is "bad username or incorrect old password".) This happens with any user account, including newly created test accounts. Here is what I get in the log.%MACHINENAME% file: libsmb/smbencrypt.c:decode_pw_buffer(519) decode_pw_buffer: incorrect password length (12889175). libsmb/smbencrypt.c:decode_pw_buffer(520) decode_pw_buffer: check that 'encrypt passwords = yes' (other versions of this error give lengths of (1000352699) and (-55166985) I already have 'encrypt passwords = yes' in my smb.conf file, and I've applied all the patches to the client machine, as well as the "require_sign_or_seal" registry hack. I've manually set the password from the console, and I can login using that password, so it's definitely not something as simple as the new password being thrown out by PAM. If this weren't a binary install from the latest samba.org RPM file, I'd suspect that one of the executables or libraries were corrupted. Any help would be appreciated.
