[Samba] Failed to modify entry error

[John H Terpstra]

Kenny,

Do the following and capture the output, then email it to me (compressed
please):

	smbpasswd -a -m pc-00454

Please also send me you smbpasswd file.

I'll take a look and get back to you.

PS: Please email off list to jht at samba.org
