Hi!

For some reason unknown to me, I'm completely unable to change
my Samba password using smbpasswd. I always get:

[19:57:36 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ smbpasswd
Old SMB password:
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the password change: Error was : RAP86: The 
specified password is invalid.
Failed to change password for alexander

Despite the error message, I'm sure that the specifid
password *is* valid - I copy'n'pasted it and thus cannot
have a typo.

Why is the system nonetheless telling me, that the password
is wrong?

Thanks a lot,
Alexander
