Hi, Scott: Thanks. I found /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd in the old file system. I moved it to the new file system. Now I can change|edit one user (gelmce) account, yet another user account (chuck) fails due to "Failed to find entry for user chuck." IIRC, there was a command to add samba users....like 'addsmbuser'. I'll check the 'docs'. Again, Thanks.
