Basically,you have first to create a Posix user including his Posix group (like in /etc/passwd and /etc/group - or the same in LDAP or NIS? if you're into those), and only then can you run smbpasswd on that. It's all in the docs, follow the docs (aka RTFM). > Thanks very much for your help in advance I didn't help in advance, I tried to help afterward. "Read the docs", is good advice for "help in advance". --Tonni -- mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.billy.demon.nl -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
