[Samba] Samba automatically disabled?

[Tim Tyler]

    Derek,
      That was exactly the problem.  The changepasswd.cgi program (one of 
the revisions) has the CT transposed.  I simply went into the C code and 
transposed it back properly and recompiled it.  It now works fine.   It was 
the line with:
  strcpy(smbltc,"LCT-");
      Thanks
     Tim
