example:
./smbpasswd -a user1
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
The misleading messages appear as follows:

Explorer File->Properties->Security interface to a file or directory from a Windows XP
Professional 64-bit edition results in the following error message:
This program cannot open the required dialog box because the specified
nl
computer <samba servername> cannot be determined to belong to a domain.
Workaround
No workaround exists.
