similar to: change passwd from windows--more grief

Hi list, I have set up two Samba PDC networks for work with win XP clients. Each network is small, about 15 clients and three printers. Each uses a different distro (don't ask)--one is mandriva 2006 the other is debian sarge. Both have all updates. Both have working wins and dns on Linux. Mostly things work well, but I am unable to change passwords from the XP clients. The client will

I can't get my Samba PDC (FreeBSD 7,0-BETA3) changing UNIX passwords from Windows clients (Ctrl-Alt-Del). I now have the password chat debug active and I have loglevel 100. I am not certain about the syntax in the password chat. But if I from a console try to change the password of a given user (here testuser1), I see these lines: mflserver3# /usr/bin/passwd testuser1 Changing local password
