SYNOPSIS

       smbldap-passwd [-?|--help|-s|-u] [name]

DESCRIPTION

       smbldap-passwd changes passwords for user accounts. A normal user may only change the password for their
       own account, the super user may change the password for any account.

       If option -s specified then changed only samba password.  If options -u specified then changed only UNIX
       password.  With no options then changed both - UNIX and samba passwords.

       Password Changes The user is first prompted for their old password, if one is present. This password is
       then tested against the stored password by binding to the server. The user has only one chance to enter
       the correct passwword. The super user is permitted to bypass this step so that forgotten passwords may be
       changed.  The user is then prompted for a replacement password. As a general guideline, passwords should
       consist of 6 to 8 characters including one or more from each of following sets:

       Lower case alphabetics

       Upper case alphabetics

       Digits 0 thru 9

       Punctuation marks

       Password will prompt again and compare the second entry against the first. Both entries are require to
       match in order for the password to be changed.
