I' just setting up a samba server using centos and get you don't have permission to change you password on the windows xp client. Just wondered what others are using for the passwd chat line in smb.conf.

Mine is: *New*password* %nn *Retype*new*password* %nn *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

This password chat is only used if you have enabled "unix password sync" so nothing related to the smbpasswd itself. Have you at least enabled encrypted passwords (encrypt passwords = yes) And which passwd backend are you using ? file, ldap ?
