[Samba] smbpasswd for user does not work

[Martyn Ranyard]

More likely is that you are not binding samba to localhost
try smbpasswd -r realname -I re.al.ip.ad

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team.  I reply to save those more
