[nflug] samba woes

[eric]

I just wanted to reiterate that changing other users' passwords work
fine, but mine does not

here are some of smb.conf flags:
***********
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
*Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n
obey pam restrictions = yes
winbind enable local accounts = no
dns proxy = no
security = user
unix password sync = yes
**************

I also have myself as an admin user for each share


Thanks again,
Eric
