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* Also tried setting passwd chat debug = Yes but that seems to have no effect in the log output. Thanks, Neil Jolly
