Howdy: I am trying to suppress the password prompt when trying to change a WIN2K Active Directory account password from a linux workstation with the Samba 3 net command. My workstation is not a member of the Active Directory domain. Here is the syntax I am using: /usr/local/samba/bin/net -w mydomain -I ads.mydomain.com --user=test PASSWORD test football soccer01 Here is my workstation setup: Red Hat Linux Enterprise AS 2. Samba Version 3.0.2a The above example prompts for the password of the "--user=test" account. I would like to suppress the command from asking for the password or enter the password into the command line before it runs as I am trying to create a CGI to change the password. The CGI will happen to live on a linux box with apache & perl serving the utility. The account I am changing the password for lives on an all WIN2K server AD installation. Thank you, dkw
