Re(2): Status of changing passwords from NT ...

[Anthony Brock]

This occurs with every version we have updated to since I started looking
at the SAMBA_TNG branch.  The latest test was against CVS last Friday.  I
am including my smb.conf file below for reference.

Just for confirmation, I will update against CVS again in a few minutes,
and see if it works.  The command I use to update with is:

cvs update -r SAMBA_TNG -P -d

Let me know if you have any thoughts.
