Okay, when responding to your message, I decied to do a quick
test. I thought that when you ran smbpasswd to change the
ntPassword and lmPassword, I thought that is would also
change the userPassword ... seeing that this would be a good
way to debug password change problems ... but I don't know
how Windows with change the password, or if smbpasswd would
be able to simulate the change ... seeing that I have had
problems changing passwords.
Thanks for getting me to do this test, which means now that I
have a problem with changing passwords. I am going to have
to look into this.
