Maybe I can The "net" command is definitely part of Samba 4 Alpha 13. "net" was renamed to "samba-tool" some time after Alpha 13. Assuming you installed Samba to the default /usr/local/samba, it will be in /usr/local/samba/bin. > download samba-tool which will still work?

You likely have that installed on the machine and it's in the PATH before /usr/local/samba/bin (or /usr/local/samba/bin is not in your PATH at all.) You should remove Samba 3's net command (which, for Debian/Ubuntu is in the samba-common package) unless you know you need it. Also make sure /usr/local/samba/bin is in your PATH, or specify the full path to the net command like: /usr/local/samba/bin/net setpassword username Otherwise, do as Daniel suggested and set the password from a Windows machine using the "Active Directory Users and Computers" tool. See the Samba 4 HOWTO page for where to get these tools for Windows. > Thanks for the support and I will keep checking to see if I can obtain > samba-tool. > > Mark Sheppard >> >> Try: net setpassword --help >> >> (or samba-tool for later versions of Samba4). -- Michael Wood -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
Re: [Samba] Need help changing user password
Michael: I have checked for both net setpassword and samba-tool in Samba4 Alpha13 but they are not there. Maybe I can download samba-tool which will still work? When I try doing a net setpassword it brings up the help menu without this item listed. These are the only items that are listed which are similar: net getlocalsid [NAME]to get the SID for local machine name net setlocalsid SID to set the local machine SID net getdomainsid the machine SID and the domain SID on the local server net setdomainsid SID to set the domain SID on member servers net changesecretpwto change the machine password in the local secrets database only this requires the -f flag as a safety barrier Thanks for the support and I will keep checking to see if I can obtain samba-tool.

Re: [Samba] Need help changing user password
Hi! Realy simple: LOgin as administrator to your windows client. Use the tool Active Directory Users and Groups within windows. If you do not have it. Install it from the Microsoft page. Be aware: Of Password Policy Settings!! Along with Samba4 the Password Policy you can only set from console, with 'net pwsettings ' command. net pwsettings help: usage: (show | set ) options: -h, --helpshow this help message and exit -H H LDB URL for database or target server --quiet Be quiet --complexity=COMPLEXITY The password complexity (on | off | default).
