Hello, there is an error while changing passwords with the net utility, if used like this: net rpc -U administrator user <username> password <newpassword> you get a prompt for the administrator's password and everything works. But when used in this other form: net rpc -U administrator user <username> password you get two prompts, one for the new password for <username> and the other for the administrator's password, and the password that is set as new password is the password you provided for authentication proposes (the one for the administrator account). I have debugged the program and track the bug down to source3/utils/net_rpc.c:rpc_user_password:765, status = NetUserSetInfo(c->opt_host, argv[0], 1003, (uint8_t *)&u1003, &parm_err); before this line the variable u1003.usri1003_password holds the value of the new password but when the call to NetUserSetInfo returns this same variable holds the value of the administrator's password. When the command is used in the first form the variable u1003.usri1003_password holds the value of the new password even after this line returns. I think something along the way is rewriting the value of this structure but inside that function, things get a bit too cryptic for my knowledge. Sorry i could not provide a patch for this, but i can provided testing for it if needed. If anything was missing in this bug report please net me know. Thanks.
