Hi,
        How can i switch to pdb password backend , and disable the old
`smbpasswd' pattern ?

        It's a fresh install , didn't put anything else in global section.

//      Config
//================
[global]
        workgroup = SELABO
        server string = Aaron's Server On Sara
        log file = /var/log/samba/smbd.%m
        max log size = 50
        dns proxy = No


When i use
r...@sara # pdbedit -u username -a
It told me /etc/samba/smbpasswd doesn't exist , and successfully created it.


So i have two questions:

I) I tried to use `smbpasswd -u username` & `pdbedit -u username -a` ,
and compared the hashes , found it's the same !
(Of course i delete smbpasswd first)

I've read that smbpasswd format is not secure , and developers prefers
pdb format too , it's more secure , that's why i'd like to change it ;-)


II) How can i modify user password with pdbedit ?

checked man pdbedit , doesn't help , what i can do so far is delete and
recreate , so bad.


Appreciate any of your help ;-)

Thanks in advance !
