smbpasswd in samba 2.1 alpha

[Jason A. Diegmueller]

I too am having the exact same problem on a formerly working
setup.  Only change was a CVS update, rebuild, and reload of
SAMBA.

Per chance are there images of the prealpha-2.1.0 CVS tree
that people have archived, in which case smbpasswd would work?
I have a client who is expecting this to work [again] tomorrow
morning, and I'm running short on time.

I spent about 6 hours today trying EVERYTHING I could to get 
things working again, it's nice to know it's not just me/I'm
not actually crazy.

This was working fine a month ago; are there snapshots of the 
CVS repository taken occasionaly and set aside?  Or is there
a way to tell CVS to pull down the image that's about a month
old?  At least it worked for me.  

Thanks.

|  This smb.conf file works perfectly well with Samba 2.0.6, in 
|  which I am able
|  to add users with smbpasswd.  Any help would be appreciated.
