I have a test environment setup with samba 3.05 (soon to be 3.06) installed and 2 winxp pro clients. I have setup samba to be the PDC using tdbsam as the backend. Every thing works fine except changing passwords.

The clients cannot change the windows passwords with CTRL+ALT+DEL. I cannot login to Swat with the users name and change their password. ( I do have the unix and samba passwords set the same.) And lastly I cannot login to linux as the user and then run smbpassword. When the user tries to change their password they get an error "machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86". I get a similar type message from Swat. Root has no problems changing any password.

I have looked on line an seen that many people are using Samba as the PDC and can change passwords. However, none of these people are using the tdbsam backend. I do not want to go to a SQL or LDAP backend as it is more work then I need. We are a small company of only 30 people. I did want to use the tdbsam backend because it is more robust. But if I have to I will use the smbpassd backend if it will let the user change their password.

Any comments???

Thanks,
Louis
