	I don't understand your question I guess.  User information is kept in 
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow,  group info kept in /etc/group.

	Samba is using the old smbpasswd back end  -  the text file kept in 
/usr/local/samba/lib.  I have used the smbpasswd command to add the 
users and machines to the smbpasswd file.

	I think that is about as basic as it gets - no NIS, no NIS+, no LDAP, 
just plain, old flat files holding the info.

	Thanks,
	Bob
