| [Environment: Samba 3.0.2a with "passdb backend = tdbsam" ]

| I want to be able to reset user passwords from the command line
| on the Unix server, without knowledge of the existing password.
|
| If I was using an smbpasswd file, I could call the "smbpasswd"
| command and it would edit the file.  But with a backend, that's
| not available to me.

Thats sound quite strange to my knowledge smbpasswd should also examine
your smb.conf, for the password backend line, and use the specified one.
It works perfectly for me (tdbsam (for testing only) and ldapsam
(production))

Cheers,

Geza
