Suggest you read the Samba-3 by Example book, chapter 9.
You can either purchase this in hard copy from Amazon.Com or download it in 
PDF format from:

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf


Your configuration file will use an s,bpasswd file and is dependant on being 
able to create user accounts on your local OS. If your NT4 user accounts have 
upper-case characters or spaces in them, please check that using the command 
line tools you have specified in your smb.conf file it is possible to create 
those same accounts.

For example: If you have an account called "John Brown" does your OS permit 
you to create an account by doing:

	useradd -m John Brown

because that is what your entry:
	add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd %u

Now you may need to specify this as:
	add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd "%u"

which is the same as running from the command line:

	useradd -m "John Brown"

Then again, if your OS is Linux, you may find that the Linux user account name 
can not have any upper-case characters or spaces in them, in which case you 
will need to write a script that reqrites the UNIX account name into 
something the OS will accept.
