setpassword python script

[nathanieljp]

Hello,
Please forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this.

I have used git to download (following the steps in
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO), compile and install samba4 on
my laptop.
When I tried to set/change the password for a user via the
"samba-master/source4/setup/setpassword" script, I got this error: "Error:
First line of ldif must be a dn not '    dn'".
I don't know if its just my setup here, or if other people are coming across
the same error.

I took a look around the python source code and found the following in
samdb.py on lines 177->182:
            setpw = """
    dn: %s
    changetype: modify
    replace: userPassword
    userPassword: %s
    """ % (user_dn, password)

I then changed the lines to:
            setpw = """
dn: %s
changetype: modify
replace: userPassword
userPassword: %s
""" % (user_dn, password)

Tested the python script and it now works.
