problems with smbpasswd in samba-2.0.2+ (repost)

[Tom Lieuallen]

I sent the following message to the list nearly two weeks ago
and didn't receive a single response.  In fact, I haven't received
any replies to the last 3-4 questions I have asked (over the
past 6 months).  Maybe it is my wording???  I see the messages
in the digest, so I know they are going to the list.  :-)

I have no right to complain and only cause to be very happy
with the rest of samba's performance and features (and with the
other answers that do come through the list).  So, I'll just
ask again, and hope that someone has ideas.  :-)  :-)

thank you

I am having difficulties with smbpasswd in samba 2.0.2 and 2.0.3
on a Solaris 2.6 machine.  The same config file and the smbpasswd
binary from samba 1.9.18p10 works just fine.

order 26% ./smbpasswd -r hera -D 4
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
resolve_name: Attempting wins lookup for name hera<0x20>
bind succeeded on port 0
nmb packet from 128.193.54.101(137) header: id=12269 opcode=Query(0) response=No
    header: flags: bcast=No rec_avail=No rec_des=Yes trunc=No auth=No
    header: rcode=0 qdcount=1 ancount=0 nscount=0 arcount=0

Got a positive name query response from 128.193.54.101 ( 128.193.54.101 )
Connecting to 128.193.54.101 at port 139
machine hera rejected the password change: Error was : User has insufficient privilege.
Failed to change password for tomltest



Here are the relevant portions of the config file:

[global]
   security = domain
   encrypt passwords = true
   guest account = samba
   name resolve order = wins host
   workgroup = ENGINEERING
   password server = hera

And the user certainly does have priveleges to change its password.
I was able to successfully change it with the older version.

    Password last set            3/11/99 2:11 PM
    Password expires             Never
    Password changeable          3/11/99 2:11 PM
    Password required            Yes
    User may change password     Yes

Thanks in advance for any ideas or help.
