It's not necessary that smbd is running for the smbpasswd command - at
least not with 'passdb backend = tdbsam', which is the default:


# ps axf | grep smbd
 1035 pts/0    S+     0:00          \_ grep --color=auto smbd


# smbpasswd -a demoUser
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user demoUser.




Regards,
Marc
