I'm not too sure about the initial passwords. But you can get samba to sync/passwd to sync with each other Cheers, .^.

I know you can assign an NT server to authenticate passwords, and you can also use samba to create a smbpasswd list. My question, is can you use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file so that we don't have to manage another list?
