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 ============================================================================== [20:11:49 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ testparm -V Version 3.0.20 [20:11:51 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~] $ uname -a Linux server 2.6.12-ck6.014.reiser4.nfsv4.inotify.no-posix.bsd #1 Mon Aug 22 21:08:17 CEST 2005 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2000+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux [20:05:03 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/etc/samba] $ testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[pdf-drucker]" Processing section "[Server]" Loaded services file OK.
