[Samba] Samba using local user/password file

[Patrick Topping]

I am trying to get samba to use its local users and passwords file and
not the UNIX /etc/password file.  Is this possible?  I would like to be
able to have users on the samba shares but not in the /etc/password
file.  If I am trying to do the impossible please let me know...  Thanks
in advance for any help.
