Hello!
Thanks for your email. Nope, the "easy solution" provided below doesn't
solve the problem. Same problems still occur.
BTW, has someone incorporated in a fix into the original smbpasswd
patch? It seems pretty strange that while this bug is officially "known"
and supposedly fixed, the smbpasswd patch which I downloaded from the
main site a couple of weeks back still has the blank problem.
Thanks!
