Samba Failed to find entry for user
 

I was trying to create a samba user using smbpasswd command as follows:

smbpasswd mySmbUser

After typing the New Password and Confirmed Password as prompted. I got the following errors:

Failed to find entry for user mySmbUser
Failed to modifi password entry for user mySmbUser

I even add mySmbUser to the linux account, but still have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

You need to add that user locually. Try:
useradd mySmbUser
Then:
smbpasswd -a mySmbUser

It works. The problem was the missing option -a in my previous attempts using smbpasswd command. Thanks alot.
