[Samba] Password Overview

[Simon Faulkner]

I wonder if anyone would mind explaining Samba Password organisation for the
hard of Samba?

I understand that we have/etc/passwd and /etc/samba/smbpassword
I use /usr/sbin/adduser to add a new Linux user
I use smbpasswd username:username to add a new Samba user

In particular my questions are:

How do I avoid having to enter both Linux AND Samba passwords when we have a
new user?


How can a windows user change their password?


What password system should we use if we have more than 1 Linux box (ie 1
for email/web services and 1 for file share)?


Why is LDAP so hard to do!


TIA
