Nope. (I'm using SAMBA 2.03).  Has it been changed in latest CVS code ?

In 2.03 this is only possible if "security = server" or "security = domain"
is used.  In "security = share" "smbpasswd -a Administrator" failed with
the message "User Administrator was not found in system password file".
If added manually, you still need to enter root's password, rather than
Administrator's one.

This is misleading.  If this is by design, what pwdump.exe was
written for ?  What Jeremy Allison can say ?
