Its so seldom that I have to work on samba config I forget between times whatever steps are needed.
This time I just copied an old config over to a new[ish] gentoo install. Now attempting to set smbpasswds. First I tried to give a windows client user name (but no such user on gentoo OS). Failed with message user not found .... Ok.. I think I recall somekind of mapping to do for aliasing windows user to a user on gentoo server. So next tried an actual Gentoo user name: smbpasswd reader root # smbpasswd reader New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to find entry for user reader. Failed to modify password entry for user reader Where is smbpasswd looking for an entry for reader?
