| The password functions are not working: add user, change password, enable
| user.
| If you add or enable a user, the user will be disabled.
| You can check this by opening /etc/samba/smbpasswd file.
| Entry will look like:
|
johnz:500:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
| [DU         ]:LCT-00000000:
|
| The 32 X indicates that user has been disabled.
|
| Workaround:
| You can work around this problem by using SMB utility smbpasswd from the
| command line.
| For example as root:
| smbpasswd -a johnz

This was fixed in a later release (don't remembe
which one though).
