Is there a method to pass a password to smbpasswd from stdin? Currently it appears only the user or machine name can be passed.
Would like to automate the process via shell script.
NAME smbpasswd - change a user's SMB password
SYNOPSIS
smbpasswd [-a] [-x] [-d] [-e] [-D debuglevel] [-n] [-r <remote machine>] [-R <name resolve order>] [-m] [-U username[%password]] [-h] [-s]
[-w pass] [-i] [-L] [username]
The smbpasswd suports the password as an argument. In my shell script to automate the user creation process, I do something like this: echo Adding and enabling samba user $user # smbpasswd -a -s $user $password smbpasswd -e $user
Hope that helps, Regards, -- Filipi Vianna Laborat�rio de Mec�nica Computacional (DEMM) Faculdade de Engenharia - PUC-RS telefone: (51) 3320-3500 ramal: 4053 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
