After a thorough google and marc search i'm shocked to find
this problem unmentioned...

How does one go about changing the windows password from a unix machine
with no physical access to the windows machine sharing things?

samba 2.2.3a (debian woody)
windows2000 server

thanks!

note: here's my latest attempt. I tried this with and without a -c
parameter

smbclient //coco2/c$ -c "net user bwlang *" -U bwlang
added interface ip=192.168.0.2 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
added interface ip=192.168.0.3 bcast=192.168.0.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
Got a positive name query response from 192.168.0.95 ( 192.168.0.95 )
Password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_PASSWORD_MUST_CHANGE
