smbpasswd from www...

[Tavis Barr]

It's not terribly kosher, but the subroutine in smbpasswd.c that prevents it 
from running suid is (last time I checked) totally independent of the rest 
of the program, so you can just comment it out.  You do this, of course, 
at your own security risk, etc., etc.

Cheers,
Tavis
