Running under debian, using SAMBA V3.0.7, I use PASS=secretworld USER=joe (echo $PASS; echo $PASS) | smbpasswd -s -a $USER

In perl scripts I use this commandline like #...somewhere in a for/while loop... my $cmd = "(echo $pass; echo $pass) | smbpasswd -s -a $user"; my $retcode = `$cmd`; #...next user...
