Ordinary users can only run the command -with no options. It will prompt them for their old smb password -and then ask them for their new password twice, to ensure that -the new password was typed correctly. No passwords will -be echoed on the screen whilst being typed. If you have a blank -smb password (specified by the string "NO PASSWORD" in the -smbpasswd file) then just press the <Enter> key when asked -for your old password. - -The -.I \-add -and -.I username -options can only be used by a user running as root. - -.SH OPTIONS -.I \-add - -.RS 3 -Specifies that the username following should be added to -the -.I smbpasswd -file, with the new password typed (type <Enter> for the -old password). This option is ignored if the username -following already exists in the -.I smbpasswd -file and it is treated like a regular change password -command. Note that the user to be added -.B must -already exist in the system password file (usually /etc/passwd) -else the request to add the user will fail. - -.RE -.I username - -.RS 3 -You may only specify a username to the smbpasswd command -if you are running as root. Only root should have the -permission to modify other users smb passwords. - -.RE -.RE -.SH INSTALLATION - -The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual -system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only. - -It is recommended that the -.B smbpasswd -program be installed in the /usr/local/samba/bin directory. This should be -a directory readable by all, writeable only by root. The program should be -executable by all. The program -.B must -be setuid root. This means the permissions should -look like -r-sr-xr-x and the program must be owned by root. - -.SH VERSION - -This man page is correct for version 1.9.17 of the Samba suite. -These notes will necessarily lag behind -development of the software, so it is possible that your version of -the program has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not -covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for -rectification. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR smbd (8), -.BR smb.conf (5) -.SH -.B BUGS - -.RE -The -.B smbpasswd -command is only useful if -.I Samba -has been compiled with encrypted passwords. See the file -.I ENCRYPTION.txt -in the docs directory for details on how to do this. - -.SH CREDITS -.RE -The original Samba software and related utilities were created by -Andrew Tridgell (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). Andrew is also the Keeper -of the Source for this project. smbpasswd and the encrypted password -file code was written by Jeremy Allison (samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au). - -This man page was written by Jeremy Allison. Bug reports to samba-bugs@samba.anu.edu.au. - -See -.BR smb.conf (5) -for a full list of contributors and details of how to -submit bug reports, comments etc. |
