This works on my test boxen, which are windows xp pro and ubuntu dapper 
server, samba v 3.0.22.  However on my production server (mandriva 2006 samba 
v 3.0.20) I get a message "you do not have permission to change your 
password".  

I assume this is related to pam; where do I start looking?

Thanks, Steve
