[Samba] Failure to Change Machine Account Password

[Sean Elble]

Mark,

Thanks for the reply; it would make more sense for it to be a Microsoft
problem, one of those "oops, I can't believe we broke part of the Samba
connectivity with another service pack with our new features!". Good old
Microsoft, and that's said with as much sarcasm as could possible be
implied. :-)

Can you send in a debug level 10 log and ethereal capture trace of this
happening please ?

Just my 2 cents worth...I do believe this is a Win2000 SP4 issue and may
not be specific to samba 3.0.

I seen this same error message a few weeks ago on Google when I was
researching another topic.
Here is an url (tinyurl) to it. http://tinyurl.com/pnyl
