Calling all samba gurus. I'm using samba right now as a basic file
server for my home lan right now. I made it the PDC so now I can login
to the domain from any windows machine on the network, authenticating
back to the samba machine. But I am having one slight problem.
All the users that want to login to the domain via the windows machines,
also have to have an entry in the /etc/passwd file on the linux machine
housing the samba server. This is what I get when I try to add a user
"testuser" to the samba passwd file, but who is not present in
/etc/passwd.
[root@westernwall bin]# ./smbpasswd -a testuser
INFO: Debug class all level = 1 (pid 9967 from pid 9967)
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
User testuser does not exist in system password file (usually
/etc/passwd). Cannot add account without a valid local system user.
Failed to modify password entry for user testuser
[root@westernwall bin]#
Is it a requirement that an entry for user "testuser" must be present in
the linux password file /etc/passwd?Or do I have to at least create them
an account, which then becomes their home directory, place to store
profiles, etc etc?? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Snippets of my relevant smb.conf file are pasted.
