+manpagesection(NOTES)
+
+In previous versions of Samba (notably the 1.9.18 series) this file
+did not contain the link(bf(Account Flags))(AccountFlags) or 
+link(bf(Last Change Time))(LastChangeTime) fields. The Samba 2.0
+code will read and write these older password files but will not be able to
+modify the old entries to add the new fields. New entries added with
+url(bf(smbpasswd (8)))(smbpasswd.8.html) will contain the new fields
+in the added accounts however. Thus an older bf(smbpasswd) file used
+with Samba 2.0 may end up with some accounts containing the new fields
+and some not.
+
+In order to convert from an old-style bf(smbpasswd) file to a new
+style, run the script bf(convert_smbpasswd), installed in the
+Samba tt(bin/) directory (the same place that the url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html)
+and url(bf(nmbd))(nmbd.8.html) binaries are installed) as follows:
+
+verb(
+
+    cat old_smbpasswd_file | convert_smbpasswd > new_smbpasswd_file
+
+)
+
+The bf(convert_smbpasswd) script reads from stdin and writes to stdout
+so as not to overwrite any files by accident.
+
+Once this script has been run, check the contents of the new smbpasswd
+file to ensure that it has not been damaged by the conversion script
+(which uses bf(awk)), and then replace the tt(<old smbpasswd file>)
+with the tt(<new smbpasswd file>).
