how do I create linux and samba users with a script?
 

I need to add linux and samba users using a shell script, it falls over because you are prompted to set a password.

I had a similar problem when installing the samba package using a script because it asks for confirmation after the command, I got round it using --force-yes -y as below.

apt-get install samba smbfs swat --force-yes -y

I suspect and hope you can do something along those lines when creating a linux user and a samba user, something like

smbpasswd –a username ?????password

any ideas?

There's a script to do precisely that here: Addu

Many Thanks
