REPOST : -Re: nt password changing now works.

[Amol Karnik]

hmm, i did both....still doesnt work.

added "migrate passwords = yes" and testparm complained about it being
an unknown parameter.

then i did a smbpasswd on my username, and changed my password.
logged onto the the nt4.0 machine and tried the change my password,
still gives the same error.

"[1998/10/22 15:07:35, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:(737)
  check_oem_password: old lm password doesn't match"

what am i doing wrong here?
