Hi list

For a project we are trying to change the samba password automatically in a cron job. Since smbpasswd doesn't allow the password to be entered otherwise than though the console (user input). We found a solution to the input part though expect. But as thing go expect doesn't work in a cron job since it has no tty.

Is there anyone who can point us the right way to a solution.

Hi,

I also had a similar problem with providing a password to cupsaddsmb.

You might try running your expect script through screen (although I solved the cupsaddsmb problem differently).
