Hello,
Windows encrypts passwords in an ohther way than UNIX, so you can?t convert
a UNIX Password to an SMB Password. The only way to use UNIX Passwords is to
turn of encrytied passwords in your smb.conf and to force your Windows
machines to send passwords as plain text (see Samba Documentation for the
REG-Patch). By the way you could let Samba change your UNIX Password if you
change it from your Windows box, the other way could be done by a wrapper
script for passwd, but that wouldn?t be very secure.
MfG Joachim

Betreff: [expert] SMB Trick: Using linux user accounts for SAMBA
Hey All,
Does anyone know if it is possible to use Linux username's and passwords
for SAMBA. Hence, so I don't have to duplicate it just for smbuser and
don't have to maintain smbpasswd.
