    when the encrypted SMB password in the smbpasswd file is changed.

    program</parameter>parameter is called <emphasis>AS ROOT</emphasis> - 
    to allow the new UNIX password to be set without access to the 
    old UNIX password (as the SMB password change code has no 
	access to the old password cleartext, only the new).</para>
