After you change the samba password for the 2nd time, does it stick?
When you change the password, does the /etc/samba/smbpasswd change?
I can't imagine it matters, but why are you using "passwd: compat"
instead of "passwd: files" in nsswitch.conf ?
What happens if you run smbpasswd as root to change a user's password?

I can't see any way that, with your configuration, samba could be
using your linux password as a samba password. You would have to be
using plain text passwords in windows have samba authenticate it
against your linux password. Is it really using your "linux"
password, or at some point was your samba password the same as your
linux password?
The samba and linux passwords was always different.
Or did you configure pam or nsswitch.conf to have linux authenticate
against "windows" passwords?
No. I use ubuntu 10.10 and the default configuration. See below my
nsswitch.conf, but i think it's the default and does not matter.
Did you try running "testparm -v" in case there are some parameters
with unexpected defaults?
Did this, see output below. But i can't find a "wrong" or unexpected paramter.
Did you try disabling "obey pam restrictions?" Maybe that is
preventing the password change?
Yes, i tried this. The same result :(

Hello,
I have a strange problem with my samba server. When I try to connect
with my (Windows)client and samba ask for the password, it's only
accepting my linux-user password, not my samba-user password (set with
smbpasswd and as root with smbpasswd<user>).
And now the strange about it. When i change my sambapassword with
smbpasswd, and try to login from my client, then the samba-user password
is accepted. But after a reboot of my samba server, the server accepts
only the linux-user password. I have to (re)set the samba-user password
again with smbpasswd and only after that, I can login with the
samba-user password.
Is there something wrong with my smb.conf (see below)? Or what else
could be the problem?
