You should have asked on samba at samba.org!

And I guess, this is an FAQ.


But anyway:

a) There's somwhere a a script in source/scripts, that at
   least makes up an smbpasswd from an /etc/passwd but:
b) You can't set the passwords, because the algorithms of
   Unix and SMB are completely different.

Please send further questions to samba at samba.org
