This works to a point.  It is changing the system password, but not the
password in the sambapasswd file...  Very strange.  They are not staying
in sync.  I do not see anything in my logs, so I will up the log level
and see what happens.  If anyone can shed any light on it, I would
appreciate it.

I have an Origin 200 running Irix 6.5.7 using samba 2.0.7 for Irix. I
have
about 15 Windows NT 4.0 Workstations and am trying to get it so the
users
can change their passwords from the NT Workstations.
