[SOLVED] Where is samba password file

explorer · 04-05-2011, 10:09 AM

I need to see who all the Samba users are. Some other distros keep that in /etc/samba/smbpassword file but I don't have that file here.

Using Slackware 13.1 (64)

The samba password backend files are in /etc/samba/private/ by default in Slackware.

How do I see who all the samba users are ?

try

Code:

pdbedit -w -L

Edit:
Ahh sorry, just noticed you said you don't have /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd

In that case you might try

Code:

tdbdump  /etc/samba/private/secrets.tdb

or perhaps tdbtool

Just tried that, and you should run it on passdb.tdb, so

Code:

tdbdump  /etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb | grep USER

should show your samba users for which you have assigned a password.
