Hi,
I have just installed samba-3.0.22 and copied my smb.conf across from my previous version on the same machine. With my previous version I never had to run smbpasswd -a username. It would do the authentication from /etc/passwd. ie when I added someone as a user with useradd they would automatically be able to mount samab shares. I am now having to add all my users with smbpasswd. I didn't compile the previous version. Could anyone tell me what I need to do to allow authentication from /etc/passwd?

TIA,
Rich
