well, i was thinking
u can make a user on linux without the need for adding a pw at the same time, but when it comes to samba, u have to add the pw after creating the user..
so, what about:
You adduser Per on linux, with a standard pw that goes for all off the users you make, lets say, Per123456 or something, and adduser James with James123456, and then synch, the pw and the user with samba?
You have to add the user 1 time only,but thats it. So When the user is created on linux, it will be given a standard pw, and then automaticly be added on samba with a standard pw
