G'day John and all...
Thanks for the hints... and I did a bit of poking around `man 5 smb.conf`
...
I changed:
;sync Linux passwords
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password*
%n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\ *Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
to:
;sync Linux passwords
unix password sync = yes
pam password change = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password*
%n\n *passwd: *all*authentication*tokens*updat
ed*successfully*
And it seemed to do the trick... Is it necessary to use `passwd program =
/usr/bin/passwd %u` line with the `pam password change = yes` line now?
Thanks...
Mike

Yes, I the Samba server is the PDC.
Here's some excerpts from my smb.conf file:
[global]
; PDC and master browser settings
os level = 64
preferred master = yes
local master = yes
domain master = yes
;security and logging
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
domain logons = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 2
max log size = 50
hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.100.0/255.255.255.0
;sync Linux passwords
unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*new*UNIX*password*
%n\n *Enter*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *Retype*ne
w*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:
*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
I originally took these settings from an IBM Howto. However I'm wondering
about the "security = user" part and the password chat dialogue.
Any guidance/help given appreciated...
TIA...!

Yes, with W2K, don't know about XP. Are you setting Samba up as a PDC? If
yes, I would have to say you have a problem with your password chat?
