i'm following a pretty decent IBM tutorial on how to setup a samba PDC.
in the tutorial the following command is mentioned:
passwd -l
this is what someone pulled from the RedHat man page for the '-l' option
in RedHat:
-l This option is used to lock the specified account
and it is available to root only. The locking is
performed by rendering the encrypted password into
an invalid string (by prefixing the encrypted
string with an !).
in FreeBSD the option seems to be different. i've looked through the man
page for a similar option, but i haven't been able to find anything.
can anyone tell me how i do what the Linux '-l' does?
