smbpasswd problem

[Dave Lawson]

smbpasswd does not work for non root users in 1.9.18p10. I get the message:
"smbpasswd: machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session request. Error was : code
131"

smbpasswd works fine under root
permissions on the directory containing the smbpasswd file are dr-xr-S--
root   system
permissions on the smbpasswd file are -rw-------   root   staff

Do I need to change permissions on the file or directory or something else?
