Malformed Lanman password entry (non hex chars)

[David Krovich]

	Ok, I'm having some weirdness going on....

	I'm creating a smbpasswd file consisting of just me using the
following command:

niscat passwd.org_dir | grep dkrovich | cut -f1-7 -d: | mksmbpasswd.sh > smbpasswd

The output looks like this:

dkrovich:3685:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:[U          ]:LCT-00000000:David Krovich

	When I run smbpasswd on the user dkrovich as root to change the 
password, I get the following error.  (Debug level is set to 10)

# smbpasswd dkrovich

<--lots of debugging cut out -->
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
search by name: dkrovich
startfilepwent: opening file /sys/pdcsamba/private/smbpasswd
getsmbfilepwent: Malformed Lanman password entry (non hex chars)

endfilepwent: closed file.

Failed to find entry for user dkrovich.
Failed to change password entry for dkrovich


	If I delete the XXXXX dkrovich entry from smbpasswd, and then add 
the user dkrovich using smbpasswd -a dkrovich, everything seems to work 
fine.

	What am I doing wrong?
