+
+label(DESCRIPTION)
+manpagedescription()
+
+This program is part of the bf(Samba) suite.
+
+The bf(smbpasswd) program has several different functions, depending
+on whether it is run by the em(root) user or not. When run as a normal
+user it allows the user to change the password used for their SMB
+sessions on any machines that store SMB passwords.
+
+By default (when run with no arguments) it will attempt to change the
+current users SMB password on the local machine. This is similar to
+the way the bf(passwd (1)) program works. Note that in order for this
+to succeed the url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) daemon must be running on
+the local machine. On a UNIX machine the encrypted SMB passwords are
+usually stored in the url(bf(smbpasswd (5)))(smbpasswd.5.html) file.
+
+When run by an ordinary user with no options. bf(smbpasswd) will
+prompt them for their old smb password and then ask them for their new
+password twice, to ensure that the new password was typed
+correctly. No passwords will be echoed on the screen whilst being
+typed. If you have a blank smb password (specified by the string "NO
+PASSWORD" in the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file) then just
+press the <Enter> key when asked for your old password.
+
+bf(smbpasswd) also can be used by a normal user to change their SMB
+password on remote machines, such as Windows NT Primary Domain
+Controllers. See the link(bf(-r))(minusr) and link(bf(-U))(minusU)
+options below.
+
+When run by root, bf(smbpasswd) allows new users to be added and
+deleted in the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file, as well as
+changes to the attributes of the user in this file to be made. When
+run by root, bf(smbpasswd) accesses the local
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file directly, thus enabling
+changes to be made even if url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) is not running.
+
+label(OPTIONS)
+manpageoptions()
+
+startdit()
+
+dit(bf(-a)) This option specifies that the username following should
+be added to the local url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file, with
+the new password typed (type <Enter> for the old password). This
+option is ignored if the username following already exists in the
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file and it is treated like a
+regular change password command. Note that the user to be added .B
+must already exist in the system password file (usually /etc/passwd)
+else the request to add the user will fail.
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as
+root.
+
+label(minusd)
+dit(bf(-d)) This option specifies that the username following should be
+em(disabled) in the local url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file.
+This is done by writing a em('D') flag into the account control space
+in the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file. Once this is done
+all attempts to authenticate via SMB using this username will fail.
+
+If the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file is in the 'old'
+format (pre-Samba 2.0 format) there is no space in the users password
+entry to write this information and so the user is disabled by writing
+'X' characters into the password space in the
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file. See url(bf(smbpasswd
+(5)))(smbpasswd.5.html) for details on the 'old' and new password file
+formats.
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as root.
+
+dit(bf(-e)) This option specifies that the username following should be
+em(enabled) in the local url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file,
+if the account was previously disabled. If the account was not
+disabled this option has no effect. Once the account is enabled
+then the user will be able to authenticate via SMB once again.
+
+If the smbpasswd file is in the 'old' format then bf(smbpasswd) will
+prompt for a new password for this user, otherwise the account will be
+enabled by removing the em('D') flag from account control space in the
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file. See url(bf(smbpasswd
+(5)))(smbpasswd.5.html) for details on the 'old' and new password file
+formats.
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as root.
+
+label(minusD)
+dit(bf(-D debuglevel)) debuglevel is an integer from 0
+to 10. The default value if this parameter is not specified is zero.
+
+The higher this value, the more detail will be logged to the log files
+about the activities of smbpasswd. At level 0, only critical errors
+and serious warnings will be logged.
+
+Levels above 1 will generate considerable amounts of log data, and
+should only be used when investigating a problem. Levels above 3 are
+designed for use only by developers and generate HUGE amounts of log
+data, most of which is extremely cryptic.
+
+dit(bf(-n)) This option specifies that the username following should
+have their password set to null (i.e. a blank password) in the local
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file. This is done by writing the
+string "NO PASSWORD" as the first part of the first password stored in
+the url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file.
+
+Note that to allow users to logon to a Samba server once the password
+has been set to "NO PASSWORD" in the
+url(bf(smbpasswd))(smbpasswd.5.html) file the administrator must set
+the following parameter in the [global] section of the
+url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file :
+
+url(null passwords = true)(smb.conf.5.html#null passwords)
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as root.
+
+dit(bf(-r remote machine name)) This option allows a user to specify
+what machine they wish to change their password on. Without this
+parameter bf(smbpasswd) defaults to the local host. The em("remote
+machine name") is the NetBIOS name of the SMB/CIFS server to contact
+to attempt the password change. This name is resolved into an IP
+address using the standard name resolution mechanism in all programs
+of the url(bf(Samba))(samba.7.html) suite. See the link(bf(-R name
+resolve order))(nameresolveorder) parameter for details on changing this
+resolving mechanism.
+
+The username whose password is changed is that of the current UNIX
+logged on user. See the link(bf(-U username))(minusU) parameter for
+details on changing the password for a different username.
+
+Note that if changing a Windows NT Domain password the remote machine
+specified must be the Primary Domain Controller for the domain (Backup
+Domain Controllers only have a read-only copy of the user account
+database and will not allow the password change).
+
+label(nameresolveorder)
+dit(bf(-R name resolve order)) This option allows the user of
+smbclient to determine what name resolution services to use when
+looking up the NetBIOS name of the host being connected to.
+
+The options are :"lmhosts", "host", "wins" and "bcast". They cause
+names to be resolved as follows :
+
+startit()
+
+it() bf(lmhosts) : Lookup an IP address in the Samba lmhosts file.
+
+it() bf(host) : Do a standard host name to IP address resolution,
+using the system /etc/hosts, NIS, or DNS lookups. This method of name
+resolution is operating system depended for instance on IRIX or
+Solaris this may be controlled by the em(/etc/nsswitch.conf) file).
+
+it() bf(wins) : Query a name with the IP address listed in the url(bf(wins
+server))(smb.conf.5.html#wins server) parameter in the smb.conf file. If
+no WINS server has been specified this method will be ignored.
+
+it() bf(bcast) : Do a broadcast on each of the known local interfaces
+listed in the url(bf(interfaces))(smb.conf.5.html#interfaces) parameter
+in the smb.conf file. This is the least reliable of the name resolution
+methods as it depends on the target host being on a locally connected
+subnet.
+
+endit()
+
+If this parameter is not set then the name resolver order defined
+in the url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file parameter
+url((bf(name resolve order))(smb.conf.5.html#name resolve order)
+will be used.
+
+The default order is lmhosts, host, wins, bcast and without this
+parameter or any entry in the url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html)
+file the name resolution methods will be attempted in this order.
+
+dit(bf(-m)) This option tells bf(smbpasswd) that the account being
+changed is a em(MACHINE) account. Currently this is used when Samba is
+being used as an NT Primary Domain Controller. PDC support is not a
+supported feature in Samba2.0 but will become supported in a later
+release. If you wish to know more about using Samba as an NT PDC then
+please subscribe to the mailing list
+email(samba-ntdom@samba.anu.edu.au).
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as root.
+
+dit(bf(-j DOMAIN)) This option is used to add a Samba server into a
+Windows NT Domain, as a Domain member capable of authenticating user
+accounts to any Domain Controller in the same way as a Windows NT
+Server. See the url(bf(security=domain))(smb.conf.5.html#security)
+option in the url(bf(smb.conf (5)))(smb.conf.5.html) man page.
+
+In order to be used in this way, the Administrator for the Windows
+NT Domain must have used the program em("Server Manager for Domains")
+to add the url(primary NetBIOS name)(smb.conf.5.html#netbios name) of
+the Samba server as a member of the Domain.
+
+After this has been done, to join the Domain invoke bf(smbpasswd) with
+this parameter. bf(smbpasswd) will then look up the Primary Domain
+Controller for the Domain (found in the
+url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file in the parameter
+url(bf("password server"))(smb.conf.5.html#password server) and change
+the machine account password used to create the secure Domain
+communication. This password is then stored by bf(smbpasswd) in a
+file, read only by root, called tt(<Domain>.<Machine>.mac) where
+tt(<Domain>) is the name of the Domain we are joining and tt<Machine>
+is the primary NetBIOS name of the machine we are running on.
+
+Once this operation has been performed the
+url(bf(smb.conf))(smb.conf.5.html) file may be updated to set the
+url(bf(security=domain))(smb.conf.5.html#security) option and all
+future logins to the Samba server will be authenticated to the Windows
+NT PDC.
+
+Note that even though the authentication is being done to the PDC all
+users accessing the Samba server must still have a valid UNIX account
+on that machine.
+
+This option is only available when running bf(smbpasswd) as root.

+NOTES
+
+.B New for 1.9.18p4.
+smbpasswd will now allow a user to change their password
+on a Windows NT server. To use this add the
+.I \-r
+.I \<remote_machine\>
+paramter to the smbpasswd command. The machine name is looked
+up using the "name resolve order" parameter defined in the
+smb.conf [global] section. Note that when changing a Windows
+NT password for a domain user,
+.I \<remote machine\>
+must be the name of the Primary domain controller.
+
+To allow users to change their passwords from "NO PASSWORD" in the
+smbpasswd file to a valid password the administrator must set the
+following parameter in the [global] section of the smb.conf :
+
+null passwords = true
+
+This is .B NOT recommended as a general policy, it is recommended that
+new users be assigned a default password instead.

+and
+.I username
+options can only be used by a user running as root.
+
+.RE
+.RE
+.SH INSTALLATION
+
+The location of the server and its support files is a matter for individual
+system administrators. The following are thus suggestions only.
+
+It is recommended that the
+.B smbpasswd
+program be installed in the /usr/local/samba/bin directory. This should be
+a directory readable by all, writeable only by root. The program should be
+executable by all. The program
+.B must not
+be setuid root.
+
+.SH VERSION
+
+This man page is correct for version 1.9.18p4 of the Samba suite.
+These notes will necessarily lag behind
+development of the software, so it is possible that your version of
+the program has extensions or parameter semantics that differ from or are not
+covered by this man page. Please notify these to the address below for
+rectification.
