comparable command in OpenBSD for linux's "passwd -l (name)"

i'm trying to get a samba server up and running.

however, there is no argument in OpenBSD's "passwd" command that i know of that will allow the following:

Code:

-l     This option is used to lock the  specified  account
	and  it  is  available to root only. The locking is
	performed by rendering the encrypted password  into
	an  invalid  string  (by prefixing  the encrypted string 
                with an !).

mkpasswd

MKPASSWD(1)							 Debian GNU/Linux						       MKPASSWD(1)

NAME

       mkpasswd - Overfeatured front end to crypt(3)

SYNOPSIS

       mkpasswd PASSWORD SALT

DESCRIPTION

       mkpasswd encrypts the given password with the crypt(3) libc function using the given salt.

OPTIONS

       -S, --salt=STRING
	      Use the STRING as salt. It must not contain prefixes such as $1$.

       -R, --rounds=NUMBER
	      Use  NUMBER  rounds. This argument is ignored if the method chosen does not support variable rounds. For the OpenBSD Blowfish method
	      this is the logarithm of the number of rounds.

       -m, --method=TYPE
	      Compute the password using the TYPE method.  If TYPE is help then the available methods are printed.

       -5     Like --method=md5.

       -P, --password-fd=NUM
	      Read the password from file descriptor NUM instead of using getpass(3).  If the file descriptor is not connected to a  tty  then	no
	      other message than the hashed password is printed on stdout.

       -s, --stdin
	      Like --password-fd=0.

ENVIRONMENT

       MKPASSWD_OPTIONS
	      A list of options which will be evalued before the ones specified on the command line.

BUGS

       If the --stdin option is used, passwords containing some control characters may not be read correctly.

       This programs suffers of a bad case of featuritis.
