[Samba] RAP86 error with unix password sync = yes

Hello all,

I  am running 3.0.22 on Ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS and cannot get user passwords to 
change while unix password sync = yes.  Setting it to no works, but I need 
it on.  At the user workstation (Win XP) I receive "You don't have the 
permissions to change your password" and logged in on the server as the user 
I receive
"machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The 
specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for <user>"

I have searched the archives and googled the web.  I have played with my 
passwd program and passwd chat to no avail.  I set passwd chat debug = yes, 
log level = 100 and studied the log, but couldn't see anything that helped 
me.  Using SWAT I reset everything in the security options section to 
default except unix password sync = yes, passwd chat, passwd program, and 
passdb backend = tdbsam.  I did find that in Feb 2004 John Terpstra had 
someone file a bug report for a similar problem, also on a debian system.  I 
hope that I am overlooking something simple here and we can get this 
working.  Please respond with any ideas you may have.
