Ok, so this may be silly question, but I can't find the answer anywhere
I've looked.
I have Samba up and running. I have manually added users and all are
working great.
My question is simple, whats the easiest way to add users?
If they exist inthe /etc/passwd file, I suppose that running "smbpasswd -a
username" is the best option to add the user...
Can this be done via any means apart from a shell session ??
I want to pass this machine over to a non-linux person and making them open
up a shell session and enter commands as root scares me...
What options do I have?
Also as a side note, how do users change their passwords? Do they also
need a shell session to initiate smbpasswd ? or is there some other method?
Thanks
Darryl
