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. + + +The +.I \-a +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.
