How about some details? As a wild guess, maybe your samba attempts to change
*BOTH* the UNIX password and the samba password and if one fails the it is
failure. For example if you're on RH, the default argument for doing this in
smb.conf (that is for changing also the UNIX password) does not work. Try
for example unix password sync = no in your smb.conf and see if it makes any
difference...
