	Search for your username in the the smbpasswd file.  Look
at the 5th colon delimited field.  If you see something like,
[DU	], remove the D.  (At least, thats what worked for me)

	From my experience, it seems smbpasswd adds a D to any
account I use it to change the password, which seems to have the effect
of expering the account.
