Hi,

I am getting incorrect password errors from NT "net use " command.

This is coming up in my SAMBA NT-DOM logs (samba NTDOM from 4/27)

[1999/05/27 16:03:01, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:getsmbfilepwent(150)
  getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no terminating :)
[1999/05/27 16:03:01, 0] passdb/smbpass.c:getsmbfilepwent(150)
  getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no terminating :)

I get a similar message when I use smbpasswd to change passwords too:

[root at kakoi var]# smbpasswd cad-user
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no terminating :)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no terminating :)
Password changed for user cad-user

Anyone have a fix for this?
Most password checks seem to work fine.

Thanks
-Todd
