Where do the passwords come from?

[Nothinman]

from my understand you did everything right so far, and you will have to set
the password for all the users since there is no way to decrypt the
/etc/passwd entry to make a LanMan Hash. I havn't done it but a small script
to iterate through the new smbpasswd file and run smbpasswd for all the
users in it doesn't seem that hard.

Subject: Where do the passwords come from?


In the instructions for setting up Samba as the Doman Controller
you are told to set up Samba for encrypted passwording.  Does
this include the creation of the SMBPASSWD file?  I am setting
up Samba as my PDC because I don't want to have to add each
users password to Samba's password file.

If I DO have to create the usual encrypted password file for
Samba, then is there a way to import the UNIX passwd file
to Samba?  I've run the correct command-line for "mksmbpasswd.sh",
but it just creates the SMBPASSWD file without passwords.

Thanks for any help you can supply... :)
