smbpasswd problem

[Christian Barth]

May be you have a samba from your distribution and a self compailed 
on your system and the files and programms are mixed. Also: first 
generate the smbpasswd-file form /etc/passwd, then enable the user by 
setting his password with the smbpasswd-command. Make sure you are 
using .../samba/bin/smbpasswd and .../samba/private/smbpasswd OR the 
distributions files (may be /usr/sbin/smbpasswd and /etc/smbpasswd).

Also: Leave the domain beside first, try just to connect to a samba-
share from an NT PC. If this works, try the domain stuff.
