Using smbpasswd in scripts!

[David Rankin]

First was distribution of Linux are your using and what version of samba are you
using. Ahh -- it kinda makes a difference. The different distributions promulgate
different prompts in response to a change password request that you will have to
take into account in your password chat script. So, give everyone a little more
information and you may get a more substantive response in return.
