Hi,
Using the latest Samba 2.2.8 build with USER level security, but am
having trouble using the smbpasswd command while logged in as SYSTEM.
I want to add a user to the smbpasswd file, so I enter:
$ smbpasswd -a
..or..
$ smbpasswd "-a"
but this merely produces the help screen for
Yes, what you describe is a bug I am currently working on, and it will be
fixed within a few days.
Sorry about that, but because we use the DOMAIN authentication feature, I
have no use for the smbpasswd.dat file, so sometimes I forget about testing
that area.
Be a little patient, and it will be O

I like all three options. You might also want to add a check for certain
system only privs such as ALTPRI.

The reason why smbpasswd with -j and -r option does not work is probably
because it's executed from a user which is not considered as "root" by
Samba/VMS.
Presently, the user is considered as "root" only if his UIC is either [1,4]

The syntax of SMBPASSWD is the same with VMS as it is with UNIX. In order to
enter your server in the domain, you should type :
$ mc samba_root:[bin]smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -r PDC_NAME

workgroup = DOMAIN
security = domain
