[Samba] problem with smbpasswd

[Shawn Henderson]

I just had this problem try smbpasswd -a it sounds kinda goofy but it 
worked for me. But Im not using ldap. It would make sense that samba 
wouldnt find it if your using ldap by using smbpasswd wouldnt you need 
to use smbldap command for changing passwd.
Just a thought
