Hi,

Using the latest Samba 2.2.8 build with USER level security, but am 
having trouble using the smbpasswd command while logged in as SYSTEM.

I want to add a user to the smbpasswd file, so I enter:

$ smbpasswd -a <user>
..or..
$ smbpasswd "-a" <user>

but this merely produces the help screen for the smbpasswd command.  The 
same goes for the other command switches available to root.  This used 
to work on the builds released before October, so did the syntax of the 
command change, or am I simply missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Terry
