True, but the complaint appears valid as it is true a user can not in 2.2.7a change their own password. Try it, you will see. I just emailed JRA with this exact problem. My account has a valid password.

Failed to change password for jht jht@frodo:~> smbpasswd -r frodo jht Old SMB password: machine frodo rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The specified password is invalid.
