No "smbpasswd" cmd with ksmb

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

Hi,

Newbie question maybe but which package do I need to install to get the "smbpasswd" command with ksmb? I suspect it must be "ksmbd-tools" but it is nowhere to be found on the package list of the target platform. For info, file sharing is fonctional in guest mode but I need to a user/pswd to make Windoze clients happy. The target is a broadcom chipset router used as a lan server.

System

Hostname RT-N66U
Model Asus RT-N66U
Architecture Broadcom BCM5300
Target Platform bcm47xx/mips74k
Firmware Version OpenWrt 24.10.4 r28959-29397011cc / LuCI openwrt-24.10 branch 25.292.66247~75e41cb
Kernel Version 6.6.110

There is no individual package ksmbd-tools (anymore? I think there used to be).

The utility you are looking for is ksmbd.adduser, which specifies the user and password.
