I do use a non-dictionary based 8 character length password with a mix of alpha-numerics. If it got any more complicated then my users would be emailing me everyday for password change. But still no luck.
Thanks for your suggestion Ganesh

The only restriction that I know of is on the length (per the smb.conf parameter). You may want to try it using a password that complies.

Thanks Aria, The smbd daemon is running. I did check that. I can do a smbclient -L testserver. Also I did use an 8 character password (my usual length). Is it possible the password change is failing because I am using a dictionary based password? Is that possible? Do I need to consider turning down the password complexity requirements and check it again? The only question is how do I do that?
Thanks for your help in advance. Ganesh

Oddly enough, if you issue smbpasswd from a user (other than root), the password is changed in both places (unix & smb). However, if root issues smbpasswd for a user, then only the samba password is changed.
Ganesh, in your case, make sure that your smbd daemon is running. Another problem that can cause this error is if you change the password to something shorter than 5 characters (the default). Try a longer password.

I have this problem too. I found this link by googling but no luck. I get a RAP86 error when I enter smbpasswd. If you do find a solution, please do post it to the list.
Thanks Ganesh
