[Samba] Problem changing password - Samba 3.0.13

[Richard Smart]

Hello Jose

OK - I did see the note that the LDAP schema had changed. However 
because these sites are not using LDAP just the "simple" smbpasswd 
file I did not expect this to cause a change for systems not using 
LDAP. I will however make further checks ...

Cheers
