I don't use Solaris, but if it is like most other *nix type systems then you can't actually create a smbpasswd file from an /etc/passwd file. This is because the information stored in /etc/passwd is a hash of the password (and sometimes a couple of additional letters) and is actually made to not be decrypted. When you logon to the system it creates a hash of the password you type in and compares that to the hash in /etc/passwd.Hi All,I would appreciate some assistance on how to create the smbpasswd file from the existing /etc/passwd file ? The version of samba is 2.0.7 and it is running on Solaris 7 and Solaris 8. Thanks. Regards, Alan. --
Watch this space, because I am sure that if I am wrong someone will notice that and write in.
