For the machine WINBOX: useradd WINBOX$ smbpasswd -m WINBOX For user which will acces this server: useradd username smbpasswd username IMPORTANT: Please take care about additional parameters to useradd an smbpasswd. After that, your WINBOX can join the domain. The smbpasswd step is used to authenticate against a windows like encryption scheme, which is held by the smbpasswd file. If this auth is proved, samba try to switch to a unix account of same name. For this unix auth you must add unix users via useradd. If one step failes access is denied. Please take the time to read "Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf", this will give you a step-by-step instruction with background info's you need.
