Description of problem:
redhat-config-samba cannot use the password when the samba password
contains the parentheses '(' or ')'. Not sure what any other character
will cause redhat-config-samba to fail. On the console, the following
is outputed:

# redhat-config-samba 
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `('
sh: -c: line 1: `/usr/bin/smbpasswd -s testuser uiui(ui'

# redhat-config-samba 
sh: -c: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `)'
sh: -c: line 1: `/usr/bin/smbpasswd -s testuser io)io'

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
redhat-config-samba-1.0.16-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run redhat-config-samba as root from console
2. Click on Preference -> Samba User -> select a user -> Edit
3. Change the password to something containing either '(' or ')'. Look
at the console and you'll see the output
    

Actual Results:  Error on the console. Samba password for the user is
NOT changed.

Expected Results:  Should not generate error, as it's a valid
password. The samba password for that user should be changed
