passwd chat???

Mon Feb 21 10:34:46 GMT 2000

Could somebody please help me with the following problem. I am running samba
2.0.6 on redhat 6.1. I want to change passwords from my win9X clients with
the 'net password \\server user' command or the password dialog in the
system setting.

My globals are as followed..

  security = user
  encrypt passwords = yes
  unix password sync = yes
  smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
  passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
  passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
  passwd chat debug = yes
  debug level = 100

When I try to change the password from 9X i get the error message "Error 86:
the specified network password is not correct. blah blah..."

The log file for my client has an entry that confuses me..It says that only
root can specify a username...

Here it is:
