Piping password to smbpasswd

How can I pipe the new password to smbpasswd so I can automate my installation process.

Solution

  • Thanks to Mark I found the answer:

    (echo newpassword; echo confirmNewPassword) | smbpasswd -s

    BTW: (echo oldpasswd; echo newpasswd) | smbpasswd -s does not work.
