similar to: can't change password : PANIC failed to set gid

All, I am running samba v. 1.2 on a FreeBSD machine with XP clients. I cannot make user password changes from the XP machines using ctrl-alt-del > Change Password.

Hello all, I've got a little problem to change the user-password from NT4 on a samba-server (RedHat 8.0) - but I can get without any problem shares on that server with that user and password. Why does samba say, I would supply a wrong password to my userid? What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your tips, kind regards, Andreas Hartmann smb.conf # Global parameters [global]

Hello all, I've got a problem when I try to change a password from W2K or XP on a samba 2.2.5 - server. That's the situation: The user "hugo" is logged on locally or in a domain "first" with his password "secret". The user has shares on a secound domain, the "samba" domain, too.

As the subject line indicates, I'm having multiple problems with 2.2.7a-0.2 . I compiled from source using the instructions for creating a debian package, then did a dpkg -i of the packages that were built. Prior to running 2.2.7a-0.2, I was running 2.2.3a from the stable debian package. I switched to 2.2.7a-0.2 because of the ongoing problem with default printer settings on builds prior to
