smbpasswd -d

[Scott Merrill]

Hello all!

I'm running Samba 2.2.0-alpha3 on a Red Hat Linux 6.2 machine.  I'm
extremely pleased with it, and am eagerly awaiting the official 2.2 release.

Today, though, I stumbled onto a bit of a problem.  I've got a few temporary
and external vendor user accounts that I want to disable, since they're not
needed right now (but will be needed in the future, so I don't want to
delete them).

---begin---
[root at svclx001 /root]# smbpasswd -d temp_icss
Disabled user temp_icss.
[root at svclx001 /root]# cat /etc/smbpasswd |grep temp_icss
temp_icss:529:44EFCE164AB921CAAAD3B435B51404EE:32ED87BDB5FDC5E9CBA8854737681
8D4:[U          ]:LCT-3AA65A61
---end---

According to the smbpasswd man page, when root executes 'smbpasswd -d
<user>', it should insert a "D" into the status field of the smbpasswd file.
As you can see, no such "D" is being inserted!

Additionally:
---begin---
[root at svclx001 /root]# smbclient //svclx001/data -Utemp_icss%123456
added interface ip=10.10.1.1 bcast=10.10.255.255 nmask=255.255.0.0
Got a positive name query response from 10.10.1.1 ( 10.10.1.1 )
Domain=[SVFC] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 2.2.0-alpha3]
smb: \>
---end---

The temp_icss user is not being denied access.  I don't see anything in my
log files - but that may be because I'm logging at the default level.  I
suppose I could increase log level to 10.

Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Thanks,
Scott
