samba - Aug 2010 - Samba 4 and password policy pwsetting error

Hello, 

When I tried to change the password policy on a samba 4 domain controller I get
the following error.

root at server01:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd#
./pwsettings.py --complexity=off
Traceback (most recent call last): 
File "./pwsettings.py", line 25, in <module> 
import samba.getopt as options 
ImportError: No module named samba.getopt 
root at lcsdc01:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/samba/netcmd# 

What am I doing wrong when running this command? 

Thanks 
-Glenn

Glenn,

/usr/local/samba/bin/net pwsettings <your options>

Luk, 

Thanks that is what I needed. I did internet search on the proper syntax for the
command and just could not figure out how run the command.
