RE : RE : how to generate passwords?
The shell_exec method will be alright for now, all I need is a way so
user can change their password themselves without too much trouble so I
can work on other things. Using the smbpasswd command with the -s switch
looks like a good idea I'll try to work on it tomorrow. I'll use the -U
switch so I can specify the user I want it to change the password.
Thanks a lot that should do what I need to do for now. I'll try to make
it more secure and stuff when I'll have more time.

I'm not certain how secure the shell_exec method is but if it is
acceptable you could use the smbpasswd command with the -s switch which
causes it to read stdin for old and new password. Trouble is smbpasswd
will change the password of the UID that smbpassword is running as
unless
you run it as **root** from your webscript (iiieeeeee!!!). So you'll
probably end up changing the CIFS password for "httpd" or "nobody".
