How to create separate list of samba users.
 

hi,
I am using cent os 5 for samba.For samba users i make a user in my linux bos like

These users can also login into my linux system if they want. For samba I want to know that is there any way to create a valid list of samba users so that they may access files from windows xp.

Thanks in advance,
garden

Not sure how useradd is supposed to give the user access to
samba ... the "normal" way to give a linux user access to samba
facilities is to use, e.g.:
smbpasswd -a smith


Cheers,

Thanks for the reply. Well it means that "smbpasswd -a smith" is the way to add user and assign its password ?
Kindly guide me if i am wrong.

2- This is the syntax to add samba user and its password "smbpasswd -a <username>" My question is where is this database located ?
