The source tarball (from www.samba.org) comes with a script (mksmbpasswd.sh) to do so. In 2.0.2, the default location for this file is /usr/local/samba/private/smbpasswd. I may have just gotten lucky, but the samba 2.0.2 debs from potato installed the smbpasswd file by default (I think).
As for the mixed case passwords, I don't know for sure. All the passwords on my samba box are lower case. The Win95 boxes can be a beast to get to connect in themselves, as Microsoft has released patches for the redirector (vrdrupd.exe) which disables clear text passwords. Clear text passwords are disabled by default in Win98 and WinNT SP3 and above. > > Exist a method to create smbpasswd from the unix passwd file?
