Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
previously, the man pages and usage messages for rpcclient, smbcacls, samba-client, smbget, smbtree, and pdbedit contained errors, omissions, and outdated information. Users could not therefore rely on the provided documentation to use these programs. The documentation for each of these components has been reviewed and corrected and no longer contains misleading information.

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
