hi list,
when I try to set the default smbpasswd-password from a Win98/ME client
i get the following error in the log:

smbd[10850]: smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(785) 
smbd[10850]: check_oem_password: incorrect password length (1032140223). 

...and I get an windows-dialog: wrong password.

when leave the smbpasswd-password blank with

root at cgn-lnx06:/usr/local/samba/lib > ../bin/smbpasswd user490067
INFO: Debug class all level = 3   (pid 10909 from pid 10909)
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user user490067.

than I can change the empty password to a new one without any error
message???!!!!!
with win nt/2k clients I don´t have any problems to change the "default"
password. 

here is my global section from smb.conf:

[global]  
        security = user 
        status = yes 
        workgroup = NTDOM
        netbios name = cgn-pdc
        interfaces = eth0 lo
        bind interfaces only = yes
        server string = Samba %v running on %h
        wins support = yes
        time server = yes
        encrypt passwords = yes 
        domain logons = yes 
        domain master = yes
        local master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        logon script = scripts\logon.bat
        logon home = \\%L\homes
        logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
        logon drive = z:
        domain admin group = @adm 
        add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g smbcl -c Machine -d /dev/null
-s /bin/false %m$  
        share modes=no 
        os level=65 
        keepalive = 60
        name resolve order = wins bcast host
        log level = 3
        log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY
        force create mode = 0640
        force directory mode = 0750

any suggestions?

bye
andre
