-.TH SMBPASSWD 1 smbpasswd smbpasswd
-.SH NAME
-smbpasswd \- change a users smb password in the smbpasswd file.
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B smbpasswd
-[
-.B \-add
-] [
-.B username
-]
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-
-This program is part of the Samba suite.
-
-.B smbpasswd
-allows a user to change their encrypted smb password which
-is stored in the smbpasswd file (usually kept in the
-.I private
-directory under the
-.I Samba
-directory hierarchy. 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.

-.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.

-.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.
