[Samba] Problems with smbpasswd

[Bobby Mitchell]

I am having trouble changing passwords with smbpasswd on the Samba 
server while logged in as a user. I get this error message:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : The 
specified password is invalid.

When I log in as root I can change the password. I'm also trying to use 
"unix password sync = yes" to change the unix password when I change the 
smb password.

The file, /etc/samba/smbpasswd, that contains the passwords has 
permissions 600. I just changed the perms to 777 to test and got the 
same results.

Anyone seen this before?

Thanks,
Bobby M.
