samba - Oct 2013 - user creation with samba-tool issue

I am creating a user with samba-tool. I am essentially using the s4user script
(very slight mods to echo some data and assign some site-specific data).

The syntax in the script for a test user is

samba-tool add user test.user47 Passw0rd!

The echo'ed output is (including echo of entities that are to be set via
ldbmodify)

Creating s4 posix user test.user48

New user:test.user48 POSIX-ified as follows:
uid  3000159
gid  513
primaryGroupID  513
getent passwd test.user48

sid  S-1-5-21-276688905-1455118844-2751846679-513
profilePath: \\ncssamba1\profiles\test.user48
homeDirectory: \\ncssamba1\home\generic\test.user48
homeDrive: P:
unixHomeDirectory: /home/generic/test.user48

This creates the user and I can see the user using ADUC.

However, if I try to log in I cannot because the password is incorrect. If I
reset the password using ADUC, I can then login without issues. The account
information from wbinfo is

# wbinfo -i test.user48
NEWARKCHARTER\test.user48:*:3000159:513::/home/NEWARKCHARTER/test.user48:/bin/false

Is there a way to after-the-fact reset the password for an account using
samba-tool run as administrator? I also noticed that there is smbpasswd in
/usr/local/samba/bin can this be used?

Sincerely,
Dave Hopkins

Hi
No, strange. It doesn't work if you specify it on the command line of
the script but it does if you don't and type a password at the prompt.
Is specifying the password at user creation time an option for you?
