Thanks. I did contact the maintainer.

I tried with FreeBSD 6.0-RELEASE and samba-3.0.14a_1,1 from the ToolKit disk.
When I first use smbpasswd I only have the account_policy_get failures
(no segfault).

BTW I searched the web about the account_policy_get failures but couldn't
find any explanation exept that it is safe to ignore those messages when
smbpasswd is used for the first time.
Can someone shed some light on them?

Regards,
Thierry.
