samba error



hi

when a normal user tries to change his/her passwd using smbpasswd or SWAT,
they get the following error:

"machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the session setup. Error was : ERRSRV - ERRbadpw
(Bad password - name/password pair in a Tree Connect or
Session Setup are invalid.).
Failed to change password for mcrobert"

the last line of the /var/log/smb file is:

"[2000/06/15 10:44:47, 1] smbd/reply.c:reply_sesssetup_and_X(988)
  Username  is invalid on this system"

... but the users are contained in the smbpasswd file & the /etc/passwd
file. What's happenin' here???!!?

TIA
Andrew
