Hi all,

I'm fighting with samba on a new CentOS 5.1 install.

The goal here is to have unix/linux usernames/passwords used for the samba shares (which i'll setup using webmin, as I find it easy that way). At present, the home share and one for the company's public share are in place.


# useradd ..... someuser
# passwd someuser
   new: ....
   again: ...
# smbpasswd -a someuser
   new: ....
   again: ....

the smbpasswd step is neccessary, because SMB/CIFS protocol uses a different hash than /etc/passwd & /etc/shadow, so samba keeps its own smbpasswd file.
