Hallo, Gabriel,

Du meintest am 04.02.10:

What tells

        which -a smbpasswd
        ls -l /usr/bin/smbpasswd


> I try to change the password with passwd but then it doesn?t allow me

That's simple: "passwd" changes (only) the Linux password, and  
"smbpasswd" only changes the Samba password.

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
