Hi there --

Thanks for your reply. The output of the testparm command is shown below:

Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[roinventory]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_STANDALONE passdb backend = tdbsam

The smbpasswd command is available for backwards compatibility. At the risk of coming across as a complete idiot, how does that tie in to this situation?

If you really want to use smbpasswd backend, just change passdb backend = smbpasswd (in /etc/samba/smb.conf) and go with smbpasswd ..
