System password to login to SWAT

[Makis Marmaridis]

Hi,

what clients are you running? Samba 2.0.7 when used with Windows NT4.0
clients will successfully change user passwords through the Windows NT
Interface (while logged on you can press ctr+alt+del and choose change
password).

I am not sure if this is applicable to you at all, but if it is it will
certainly save you the effort of having to change SWAT around.

HTH,

Cheers,
Makis.
