AW: smbpasswd error with permission denied.

[Jens Uwe Schmidt]

Hi,

are you shure, that this is the right one?
Maybe it's in /usr/local/samba/private/ or wherever you told your samba
source to settle.....

(Just a tip, I spent hours in searching for my mistakes like this - no
offence!)

Cheers

Jens
