smbutil may or may not accept a password as an argument.
Something like:
smbutil --password=SECRET -v view //user@host
If not, you MIGHT be able to do:
system("echo SECRET\n | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //user@host");
You may need to dink around with the \n part to get it into the shell
rather than in the PHP string...
system("echo -e \"SECRET\\n\" | /usr/bin/smbutil -v view //user@host");
You should use exec instead during experimentation at least, so you can
get error messages... Actually, exec is probably better all around,
unless you really need passthru for performance reasons...
smbutil *might* require a TTY (a REAL logged in person) the way some
programs do. If its documenation says so, I think you're out of luck on
the password bit.
There might be other options, like SSH key-pair authentication or
Kereberos or, for all I know, somebody wrote a PHP Samba Module while I
wasn't looking... I'd probably never use it, so wouldn't have noticed.
