I've installed a local network with win 95 OSR2 clients and a RH 6.1 Samba server. This includes encrypted password utilization. Moreover, my server acts as domain controller. When changing password on the client PC through /control panel/passwords/, I get an error message saying my password is wrong despite the fact it was actually correct. If I keep validating several times without any modification of the data entered, it answers finally ok and my password is correctly updated at the server level (including Linux password). When looking at the smb log files, I don't see any difference between the time the password was changed successfully and the other time when the chaning process failed, except a "read time-out" when confirming the password in the password chat. Many thanks for your help ! Ivan.
AFAIK rh61 has samba 2.0.6. Some serious (very) timing issues with pwd sync were solved in 2.0.7. To see a meaningful log for passwd sync you should: 1) set log level to 100 2) passwd chat debug = yes
Please try with the 6.2 samba packages, and reopen if this persists.
