Thank you very much.

I can use /opt/IDEALX/sbin/smbldap-passwd to change both the Windows and 
UNIX password.  If the problem is ACL related, wouldn't I have the same 
problem with this tool?

When samba changes passwords, does the process run as root or as the 
user making the passwords change?

Thanks again.
