/etc/passwd
System wide accounts file
mksmbpasswd8
Formats a /etc/passwd entry for a smbpasswd file
Usage
mksmbpasswd {cat
/etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd
>
/etc/samba/smbpasswd}
Overview
mksmbpasswd should be used only once, the first time Samba is installed. The idea is to ease accounts creation by transferring all user accounts from /etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
Please note that passwords are not transferred automatically from /etc/passwd to the new /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. After running mksmbpasswd all accounts are disabled so the system administrator must run smbpasswd for each account that needs to be enable.
