[Samba] smbpasswd for normal user

[Hok Chun So]

Dear all,

I have set up file sharing for users' directories on a RH7.2 linux 
server.  I am running Samba 2.2.1a

I configured all Linux users who have the right to use Samba to belong 
to "smbuser" group.

However, user can't change their password using smbpasswd command.  Only 
root user can change the password for user.

When user tries to change password using smbpasswd, the following error 
is shown:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the tconX on the IPC$ share. Error was : 
ERRSRV - ERRbadpw.

Did you encounter similar problem before? Can u help me to fix the 
problem?

My smb.conf is attached below.

Thanks for your help
Bill
