Hmmm, ok. So what do people recommend my next step be:

1. - grab pre-2.5 source from somewhere (where?) and use this?

2. - wait for it to be fixed?  

I don't have a lot of time and if I can't get this feature working, then
I'm going to scrap Samba all together. There's not much point in using it
as a logon mechanism if users can't change their password from one point
and have it updated for both smbpasswd and NIS (it would cause too much
confusion).
