Adam, 

I didn't see a 'password chat' setting.  See the smb.conf(5) 
man page for an example and more information.  Or did I 
just overlook this in you smb.conf?

However, if your users change their password on the PDC,
Samba will have no way of knowing this (all authentication
being done by the PDC).  You can try specifying the Samba 
server in the password change dialog.  It may be that
you have to use security = user for this.  Since I did not
right the code, I cannot say for sure.



Cheers, jerry
