smbpasswd problem

[Daniel David Benson]

I can't seem to figure this on out.  I just recently put 1.9.18p4
on one of my DECs.  The root user can change user smbpasswds without
a hitch.  Unfortunately, normal users get the following error:

black#smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The specified password is invalid.

I read Todd Plaff's comment on the hosts allow 127.0.0.1 entry and followed
suit.  What exactly does that error mean?  

Also, with the smbpasswd -r functionality can I update another samba server's
password database?

Thanks!

-Dan
