-------------- next part --------------
%U = Client username variable
%u = Unix username variable
%H = User's home directory variable

smbpasswd -a = add to smbpasswd file
	  -m = machine trust account	

Account flags:  U = standard user account
		D = account disabled
		N = no password
		W = workstation trust account
		
LCT- amount of seconds since epoch (midnight,Jan 1,1970)

Password chat response characters:
	* = zero or more occurances of any character
	" " allows u to include matching string that 
	    contain spaces. * are still considered 
	    wildcards even inside quotes, and you can 
	    represent a null repsonse with empty quotes.

Password chat send characters:
	%o = the user's old passwd
	%n = the user's new
 passwd
	\n = the linefeed character
	\r = the carriage-return character
	\t = the tab character
	\s = a space

Variable Substitutions:
	%S = the name of the current service
	%P = the root directory of the current service
	%u = the user name of the current service
	%g = the primary group name of %u
	%U = the session user name
	%G = the primary group name of %U
	%H = the home directory of user given by %u
	%v = the Samba version
	%h = the internet hostname that Samba is running on
	%m = the NetBIOS name of the client machine
	%L = the NetBIOS name of the server (this allows you
	     to change your config based on what the client calls
             you. Your server can have a "dual personality"
	%M = the internet name of the client machine
	%N = the name of the NIS home directory server. This is 
   	     obtained from your NIS auto.map entry. If you have 
	     not compiled Samba with the --with-automount option
	     then this value will be the same as %L
	%p = the path of the service's home directory, obtained 
	     from your NIS auto.map entry. The NIS auto.map entry 
	     is split up as "%N:%p".

	%R = the selected protocol level after protocol negotiation. 
	     It can be one of CORE, COREPLUS, LANMAN1, LANMAN2 or NT1.
	%d = the process id of the current server process.
	%a = the architecture of the remote machine. Only some are 
	     recognized, and those may not be 100% reliable. It 
	     currently recognizes Samba, WfWg, Win95, WinNT and Win2k. 
	     Anything else will be known as "UNKNOWN". If it gets it 
	     wrong then sending a level 3 log to samba at samba.org should 
	     allow it to be fixed.
	%I = the IP address of the client machine.
	%T = the current date and time.
        %$(envvar) = the value of the environment variable envar.

There are some quite creative things that can be done with these 
substitutions and other smb.conf options.
