Status of changing passwords from NT ...

[Anthony Brock]

But is this true if your not trying to synchronize against the UNIX 
passwd?  If truth be told, I JUST need the password changed in the SMB 
password file, NOT in /etc/passwd.

However, if this is true, I will attempt to find the correct configuration 
for this ... (and will try the log 100 anyway).
