smbpasswd

Smbpasswd is a command-line tool used for managing user accounts in the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol, commonly used in Windows file sharing networks. It is part of the Samba suite, an open-source implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems. This tool allows system administrators to manage passwords for Samba users. When executed, the smbpasswd tool prompts for the user's old password and then allows the administrator to set a new password. Smbpasswd can also be used to enable or disable the password for a specific user account. Additionally, this tool provides options to change the password encryption methods and synchronize passwords with the Unix password database. It is a powerful utility for managing user accounts and ensuring the security of SMB-enabled systems.
