As I understand it, swat is anyway completely broken on
TNG, so you did the right thing. ;)

I guess, I'll remove the build-lines for swat too next. ;)

Either grab 2.0.7 and use the smbpasswd from there, but
only for the users to "remotely" change their password.
smbpasswd as a user always talks to an smbd and does it
"remotely".
Oh: And don't think long about configuring 2.0.7, if you
only want the smbpasswd, simply go ahead and run
"./configure && make bin/smbpasswd" and grab bin/smbpasswd
and put it somewhere nice.

Or try this:

rpcclient -S PDC -U $LOGNAME -c "ntpass $LOGNAME"

put it in a script, add some echo "Ignore all the noise,
it's only debugging, and be prepared to enter your old pw
twice and your new one also twice" or the like.

If you write a nice script, send it to me, I'll include it
in source/script/.
