changing password with smbpasswd

I'm using user-level security.  Root can change passwords on the
server.  Normal users, however, either with swat or using smbpasswd
directly, get the following error:

machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share. Error was :
ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect
or Session Setup are invalid.).
Failed to change password for smith

I do have the localhost entry as required in the hosts allow field, so
I'm at a loss.  Any advice would be appreciated.
