XP and Samba.....again

["Brent Schmidt" <schmity@nctv.com>]

 I tried to create a new account and here is what I get:
 Linuxbox:/home/brent# smbpasswd -a schmity
 New SMB password:
 Retype new SMB password:
 Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user schmity. Does this user exist in
 the UNIX password database ?
 Failed to modify password entry for user schmity
 Linuxbox:/home/brent#

 Any Ideas?

 Thanks for the help.

 Brent
