NAME¶
mksmbpasswd - formats a /etc/passwd entry for a smbpasswd file
SYNOPSIS¶
mksmbpasswd cat /etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smbpasswd
DESCRIPTION¶
mksmbpasswd should be used only once, the first time Samba is installed.
The idea is to ease accounts creation by transferring all user accounts from
/etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
Please note that passwords are not transferred automatically from /etc/passwd to
the new /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. After running
mksmbpasswd all
accounts are disabled so the system administrator must run smbpasswd for each
account that needs to be enable.
FILES¶
- /etc/passwd
- System wide accounts file
- /etc/samba/smbpasswd
- Encrypted passwords file for the Samba daemons
