Oops .. I think you are mixing the smbpasswd User DB and the programm
smbpasswd
Perhaps swat did something bad ? try finding a smbpasswd that is about
600 k or so 
big, not only a few bytes. I try to keep all my config stuff in /etc,
including the smbpasswd user db. Where does the smb passwd file in your
smb.conf point to ?
