[Samba] how to list users

yan1 · 04-03-2005, 11:09 AM

Hy!

I just installed samba on Ubuntu Hoary. Everything works fine. I can add users with smbpasswd and can browse those shared directories from my XP Box.
My question: How can I list all added samba users? smbpasswd does not have a list feature. And where are those users + passwords stored?
Some online resources stated, that there should be a file /etc/samba/smbpasswd, where users and passwords are stored. But on my system there isn't one, just the binary /usr/bin/smbpasswd.
Any help?

If you take a look at smb.conf it will give you an idea of where the user accounts are stored.

Ok, thanks for the answer.
I found out, that my samba server stores its passwords in a database named TDB.
passdb backend = tdbsam guest
What does this "guest" mean? The examples in the manpage do give a location of the tdbsam, instead of "guest".
And now to my primary question: How can I list all users in that Database?
