Description Ales Zelinka 2008-07-31 10:52:24 UTC

Description of problem:
"pdbedit -u user -N description" does nothing but "pdbedit -r -u user -N
description" works even though -r is deprecated and shouldn't be required. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
samba-common-3.0.28-1.el5_2.1.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
pdbedit -u sambauser -r -N with-r-param
pdbedit -u sambauser -N without-r-param
pdbedit -u sambauser -v |grep "Account desc:"

Actual results:
Account desc: with-r-param
Expected results:
Account desc: without-r-param
