RE: [Samba] Can't add new users
During Samba installation, by logging in as a NT admin with the password given on the command line, I think we avoid using this file. Please see below: mecca:/opt/samba/bin # ./smbpasswd chrisg New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Failed to find entry for user chrisg. Failed to modify password entry for user chrisg mecca:/opt/samba/bin # Regards, Majid Chavoshi Unix System Administrator -Original Message- From: Bryant, Steven R.

I'll guess that viewing the file smbpasswd right now, you'll see the users listed there that do already work with the SAMBA shares... Hope this helps, Steve Steven R.
