+<para>This command allows the Samba machine account password to be set from an external application
+to a machine account password that has already been stored in Active Directory. DO NOT USE this command
+unless you know exactly what you are doing. The use of this command requires that the force flag (-f)
+be used also. There will be NO command prompt. Whatever information is piped into stdin, either by
+typing at the command line or otherwise, will be stored as the literal machine password. Do NOT use
+this without care and attention as it will overwrite a legitimate machine password without warning.
