samba - Apr 2008 - user account status

I used "smbpasswd -d username" to disable an account.
How can I see the status of the account as being disabled?
Is there something similar to the "passwd -S username" command which
tells me the account status?

When I view the smbpasswd file the user I disabled appears unchanged,
not like the /etc/shadow file that replaces the password with two "!!"
when an account is disabled.

Thanks

Marc

pdbedit -Lv username -- there are some other formats that might be of
interest.

Most specifically though, looking at the smbpasswd file, you SHOULD see
a "D" in the [] flags field.

Please keep replies on-list.

For smbpasswd, they are not listed anyplace else. I believe they are
manufactured from the smb.conf entries for profile path and home
directory. I believe for other backends, they are contained in the file
and only generated if blank.
