TNG does not have an smbpasswd command.  "samedit" is the
command you need; check out the samedit manpage after you've
finished compiling.  (TNG is very different in philosophy from
regular Samba; be prepared to learn many new things if you want
to use it.)

Unfortunately, not all the documentation in the TNG distribution
has been updated; there is much information in the docs that
applies to regular Samba, but not to TNG.  This is currently
being worked on.
