Hello -
I see from the 3.0.8 release notes:
* Remove support for passing the new password to smbpasswd
on the command line without using the -s option.
I used to use the option:
smbpasswd -a $user $pass
to quickly add a new user to the smbpasswd database. This no longer
works in 3.0.8. I have tried every combination I can think of adding the
-s and -L options to the command line and in every case I get the
smbpasswd help file. Can someone give me the correct syntax to be able to
add a user and set their password on a single command line?
Thanks!
