DESCRIPTION

12       smbldap-passwd changes passwords for user accounts. A normal user may
13       only change the password for their own account, the super user may
14       change the password for any account.
15
16       If option -s specified then changed only samba password.  If options -u
17       specified then changed only UNIX password.  With no options then
18       changed both - UNIX and samba passwords.
19
20       Password Changes The user is first prompted for their old password, if
21       one is present. This password is then tested against the stored
22       password by binding to the server. The user has only one chance to
23       enter the correct passwword. The super user is permitted to bypass this
24       step so that forgotten passwords may be changed.  The user is then
25       prompted for a replacement password. As a general guideline, passwords
26       should consist of 6 to 8 characters including one or more from each of
27       following sets:
28
29       Lower case alphabetics
30
31       Upper case alphabetics
32
33       Digits 0 thru 9
34
35       Punctuation marks
36
37       Password will prompt again and compare the second entry against the
38       first. Both entries are require to match in order for the password to
39       be changed.
