hi folks, I'd like to use smbpasswd without getting promted for the pw, there is the -s switch making smbpasswd read from stdin but it still wants to have the pw twice and two "returns". I tried feeding it with "passwd \r passwd \r" and calling smbpasswd from python using os.popen2() and writing to the "stdin" file object but everything failed so far. any ideas? thx Paul
