Try to get WEBMIN to administer your Samba Server. http://www.webmin.com
It has some very nice features that will help you synchronized all local
users to samba users.
This will alleviate the need to manually do it by hand..
It also make creating Shares a breeze....
Good Luck...

Please respond
to Linux on 390
Port
okay, I'm stumped. I have samba setup and I'm able to use it but how do
I setup other users, easily? Here's the process I've been successful
with thus far: Note: current setup win98 clients, NT server (network
authentication)
1. I setup my network user name in linux (adduser/passwd) Note:
username must match what I log into NT with AND must be in
upper-case. NT must convert to UC cause LC would not work.
2. I create my user from step 1. in samba (smbpasswd -a <username>)
give the same password I user in 1. but not the same password I use
as my NT network password.
I then have to MAP a drive to my samba share \\s390\< upper-case
username>. (Explore - Tools - Map Network Drive). Give my user name
(smbpasswd) and it works! I am able to see my samba share and my
printers I have setup using print-conf.
1. I go into window to setup the printer(s) but (issue #1) no
drivers. I have:
[printer$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
and yes, I did put the drivers in there. I wound up having them already
in the list but I thought I could pick from /usr/local/samba/printers.
The *.inf is there but I cannot see the directory.
2. issue #2 - user setup. do I have to setup each user this way.
there is a reference to an add_user script. I've looked for this
but so far all I've found are reasons not to post it as "site specific
material". I just want to know what is suppose to look like and I'll
modify it to my site.
regards, j-me
