Hi Chami,
I solved my problem too! We use a cgi script (Changepassword) to allow user to change their passwords. I found this in the Samba mailing list in an old topic: " [Samba] Re: /etc/samba/smbpasswd keeps changing - pulling my hair out Apparently it has nothing to do with Samba, but with the CGI script ChangePassword (http://changepassword.sourceforge.net) which used the string "LTC" instead of "LCT" in smbpasswd entries. I edited the affected smbpasswd entries and changed LTC to LCT, and now it works" It seems Samba 2.2.5 doesn't mind that, Samba 3.0.2 does.
