samba - Jun 2005 - Smbpasswd -s option

Hello

I try to get smbpasswd adding users and passwd from script the following way :

smbpasswd -a -s <username> <password>

this used to work not to long ago , but now I get
a list with usage options back instead.
Currently using samba-3.0.11
What is the correct syntax for using smbpasswd with -s
option?

TIA

Thanks,
I did :
echo <passwd> | smbpasswd -a -s <username>
which gave me a mismatch error
apparently smbpasswd wants to see a
confirmation nowadays with -s.
