smbpasswd for samba4

[Johannes]

hi,

i started modifing the provision python script in order to get some
information how this can work.
i can already change the passwort(s) working root privileges.

but of course when i run it as an different user i get:

ltdb: tdb((null)): tdb_open_ex: could not open file
/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb: Permission denied
Unable to open tdb '/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb'
Failed to connect to '/usr/local/samba/private/sam.ldb'


any suggestions how to change the passwort without su-rights?
(for a smbpasswd python script?)

regards johannes
