	I saw that you are using "pam password change", are
you aware of [1]how it works?

	It looks like something related with your pam options.
The manpage says that usually no change is needed in the
passwd chat, but maybe you found a corner case. ;)

	Does it works with you turn off the 'pam password change'
paramenter in smb.conf?

	I don't know if it has an impact, but you don't need
'ldap passwd sync' if you are not using LDAP, and looks like
you are not using it.
