[Samba] problems with smbpasswd

[Greg Miller]

Sounds like samba is looking at a different file.  Do a search for
smbpasswd and see what you come up with.  Cheers.

Subject: [Samba] problems with smbpasswd

I am having problems with smbpasswd.  I am getting the following error:

# smbpasswd -a dfrey
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to modify entry for user dfrey.
Failed to modify password entry for user dfrey

dfrey is a valid system user
dfrey:x:1002:1002:David Frey,,,:/home/dfrey:/bin/bash

I have searched google, but I haven't found an answer yet.  The
/etc/samba/smbpasswd file is empty.  I created the file myself with
touch.  Running the command with no file there makes no difference.

What can I try?
