[Samba] how can i add samba user and samba password to my samba server

[Ryan Novosielski]

This information is right in the smbpasswd man page (in section 8 of the
manual, not section 5 where the file's man page is located; do:
man 8 smbpasswd). For what you want to do, sounds like you need:

"smbpasswd -a <username>" -- this adds a user and changes their password,
but do peruse the man page.
