[Samba] BUG REPORT: change_trust_account_password works in 2.0.7, fails in 2.2.3a through 2.2.8

[Eric Boehm]

I posted an earlier message about change_trust_account_password
failing.

I have been able to reproduce the error with

2.2.3a
2.2.5
2.2.7a
2.2.8

I can't seem to get 2.2.1 to even attempt to change the machine
account password, even with 

machine password timeout = 300

The log of the failure looks like this:

Increasing the debug level to 10 doesn't seem to impart any more
useful information but I do have level 10 log of the problem (about
42K).

I don't believe that there is anything wrong with my machine
account. If I drop back to 2.0.7, I am able to successfully change my
machine account. I have done so by setting
'machine password timeout = 300' and went through two successful
changes of the machine account password.
