I installed red hat 5EL. I created samba users in command line using
pdbedit -a username and then supplied a password at the prompt.
On our fedora core 5 server the users were listed in a file called smbpasswd,
much like /etc/shadow
Where in red hat 5EL is the smbpasswd file? Does creating a samba user still
require first creating a red hat user by the same name?
Thanks

Dear mark
users information is determined by parameter "passdb backend" in
smb.conf. By default value for this parameter is "tdbsam" in EL5 (passdb
backend=tdbsam). To get location of file that hold user information ,
use following command
smbd -b|grep PRIVATE_DIR
look into that directory, all information get stored into tdb database.
also remember that pdbedit -a just add windows specific attribute to
existing linux user.
