adding users using smbpasswd, or synchronise passwd/smbpasswd

gyodai · 04-18-2004, 02:45 PM

Hi people,

I need to have always the smbpasswd users synch'ed with the system users, but if I add a user to the system, I need to add him to smbpasswd later.

There is a way to add a user to the system using smbpasswd -a user, or auto-synchronise smbpasswd with passwd? I red about a synchronisation between passwd and smbpasswd in smb.conf man pages, but I don't know how it works.

Thanks.

I use smbpasswd -> passwd synchronization, just add

Code:

unix password sync = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Retype*new*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*

to your smb.conf

so what exactly does this code do? Is there a way to sync the linux users/passwrd and all w/ samba's? So for example i can just go to yast add users and then go to a win box and login w/ that user?
