This is - similar to the way the <command>passwd(1)</command> program works. - <command>smbpasswd</command> differs from how the passwd program works - however in that it is not <emphasis>setuid root</emphasis> but works in - a client-server mode and communicates with a locally running - <command>smbd(8)</command>. As a consequence in order for this to - succeed the smbd daemon must be running on the local machine. On a - UNIX machine the encrypted SMB passwords are usually stored in - the <filename>smbpasswd(5)</filename> file. </para> - - <para>When run by an ordinary user with no options, 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.
