Modify Passwords on NT PDC

[Martin Brown]

I want to be able to modify passwords on the NT PDC via a linux box using
Samba.

This is the error I get..

Anyone know why I would get an error of

[root at samba /]# smbpasswd -D 3 -r guide -U martin
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
resolve_name: Attempting lmhosts lookup for name guide<0x20>
resolve_name: Attempting host lookup for name guide<0x20>
Connecting to 0.0.0.0 at port 139
machine guide rejected the password change: Error was : User has
insufficient privilege.
Failed to change password entry for martin
[root at samba /]#


(The IP address is not 0.0.0.0 in the original output.. just hidden from
this post.)

I presonaly think it is a problem with the way samba is seeding the request
to the PDC.  The PDC shows an error of "Access Not Allowed from this User"
But I'm unable to determine what user Samba is using to request the auth.
I've gone in to SWAT and check to see if I could set it to something else,
but I don't think I can.

Does anyone have any ideas?  All I want to do is change an NT accounts
password via Linux.

Thanks.
