[Samba] changing domain password from XP Pro

[Gary Dale]

I've set up NT domains from scratch and things work. However, in this 
case I vampired the old settings over to my new Samba PDC from a W2K 
server which I then removed from the network. Everything almost works, 
except ...

The main thing is that I can't seem to change the domain passwords from 
the XP Pro workstations. Normally you do Ctrl-Alt-Del and select change 
password, then fill in the blanks. However, when I try, I get a long 
wait - about 5 minutes - then "the system cannot change your password 
now because the domain RAHIM-DALE is unavailable" (where RAHIM-DALE is 
my domain name).

This happens on whatever XP Pro workstation I try. I've even tried 
removing a domain account and recreating it, but the same thing happens.

Any ideas anyone?
