[samba] smbpasswd doesn't work

[Dennis Knies]

When I add

	coding system = utf8
	client code page = 932

to my smb.conf, it's possible to change a smbpassword by using smbpasswd.

When I try to change the password by Win2k, I receive an error which tells 
me the old password isn't valid.

What is going wrong???
