Just an update. After reading others posts, I uninstalled Microsoft Cumulative Update MS04-012 (KB828741). Sure enough this fixed the problem. Hope Samba folks can correct this in Samba 3.0.3 so we don't have to uninstall this update on all computers.

After about two months, we have started to notice a weird problem. As user's passwords expire, they are prompted to change them. When they attempt to do so from Windows, they get a message saying "You do not have permission to change your password". However, the password IS changed. Both the Samba and LDAP Linux passwords are changed correctly, as well as the samba attributes (such as sambaPasswordLastSet, etc.) Sometimes we notice the following entry in our Samba logs: [2004/04/17 18:13:26, 0] smbd/chgpasswd.c:check_oem_password(832) check_oem_password: incorrect password length (-800397408). However sometimes this message does not appear. When we first installed Samba, we forced users to change their passwords from Windows and this worked fine. However, now 2 months later as their passwords are beginning to expire, this error is occurring for ALL users. The password is ALWAYS changed however, so I am totally lost as to what is going on. We have not changed any settings (that we know of) since when password changing was working and when it stopped. I've seen a lot of posts in the past about the error message we are receiving, however nothing substantial. The password DOES change, so if the packet is being decrypted wrong (the common error of several posts) then how does Samba know what the new password is. If you have any idea what is going on, please help.
