Description Nikolay Kabaivanov 2004-09-14 23:50:21 UTC 
Hello 
Yesterday I have upgraded my 3 samba servers running Fedora core 2 from 3.0.5 to
3.0.7 compiling for i686 architecture src.rpm files from samba download site.
Everything works fine, but I found that smbpasswd command which I use mainly
from shell scripts to change users passowrd in local mode (-L option) does not
read password from standart input (-s option). It gives me a output with a help
screen.
Seems smbpassword can recognize and use "-s" option.
Can you check this ? 
Best regards
