Somewhere in between the functionality of smbpasswd appears to have changed.
When run as root user from:
smbpasswd [options] username password
to:
smbpasswd [options] username
Is there a simple replacement to the original non interaction functionality?
I believe the change was stated in the release notes for the version that the change was made in. There is a option to change the input mode of smbpasswd to listen to stdin rather than the tty, which is what it does and keeps you from scripting a solution. I believe the switch is -s, much like the standard passwd program's --stdin flag. What this does is allow you to do something like:
(echo $PASS; echo $PASS) | smbpasswd -s <username> in a script.
