This is the help text: --- [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ smbpasswd -h When run by root: smbpasswd [options] [username] otherwise: smbpasswd [options] options: -L local mode (must be first option) -h print this usage message -s use stdin for password prompt -c smb.conf file Use the given path to the smb.conf file -D LEVEL debug level -r MACHINE remote machine -U USER remote username extra options when run by root or in local mode: -a add user -d disable user -e enable user -i interdomain trust account -m machine trust account -n set no password -w PASSWORD ldap admin password -x delete user -R ORDER name resolve order --- Because the -L option is listed above the "extra options when run by root" when I glanced over the text I was left with the impression that root was not necessary for -L, regardless of whether or not the impression was justified. HTH, George.
