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
