Password Change

[David Bannon]

It seems a bug has crept into the password changing system in the last
couple of weeks. CVS from two days ago certainly cannot _reliably_ change
passwords from the NT dialog (in my, and apparently several other systems).

I have been attempting to track this down and am most confused !

If you restart samba and then set a users passwd with smbpasswd the user
can change their pw once. Second time, it fails.

The first time they change their passwd api_SetUserPassword is called, it
calls check_lanman_password and then change_lanman_password. All is well.
The second password field in ~/smbpasswd is set to all XXX..XX.

When they try and change the password a second time pass_oem_change is
called, it fails because there is 'no ntlm password'.

Now, I cannot find where it is decided which of the two paths to take, can
anyone point me in the right direction ? Looking at source, pass_oem_change
is called from api_SamOEMChange etc but that does not seem to be the case
here.

Any ideas ??
