Hi All, I'm writing a website on which users can change their Samba-password. I therefore use the smbpasswd-utility which I execute through the PHP function system (or exec, it doesn't really matter). I have to use the -s switch for smbpasswd to enable it to read input from STDIN, which I redirect to read the information from a file. I execute: /usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd -r

Is there a tool, either for Perl or C, that will add/change the NT and LM encrypted passwords in the smbpasswd file? I know about the smbpasswd command, but I can't use that function from a script. I tried #!/bin/perl system("smbpasswd \< $oldpassword\n$newpassword\n$newpassword\n"); and some other things, but I couldn't get it to work. TSD

Matt - thanks for the tip on passwdqc. That is not installed by default on Slackware, but it is in the SlackBuilds repository. I'll install it and check it out.

Is there any way to change the output of rake spec fails? The errors are just totally over the top ugly and not helpful. First of all the ruby -Ilib line always comes before each test and I find it distracting. But if an error occurs on something that is not nil it just gives me the entire contents of that object and that is no small matter when the object is a HTTP request response. Here is

using samba and ldap - redhat 7.3 trying to work on a short cgi to update samba password (it is a url with attributes username and password). I am not very good at all with perl, so if someone can take a quick ponder and help me out, that would be great. I think that it fails in theory however, because to change other users password, you need to be root ... So I was wondering if anyone knows
