	First off, let me say I'm running the lastest CVS update.  I just did one on
October 2, at around 3pm...  Anyways, I'm having a problem with smbpasswd.  When I use
it to change a users password, It adds a D character to the fifth field, which seems
to disable the account.  I can manually edit the file, and delete the D and everything
seems to work fine.

	Here is a sample before I run smbpasswd:

jrandom:2000:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[U          ]:LCT-00000000:John Random

	And after I run smbpasswd:

jrandom:2000:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[DU         ]:LCT-00000000:John Random

	(I intentionally left the password fields blank for obvious reasons.

	Is there a fix, or is something heiniously weird happening on my system?
