mksmbpasswd.sh will parse your /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file and create
the relevent users. I'm not too sure about the initial passwords.

But you can get samba to sync/passwd to sync with each other

Hi,

I have installed Samba 2.2.8 on a Solaris 8 server and have a question about
samba passwords.  I know you can assign an NT server to authenticate
passwords, and you can also use samba to create a smbpasswd list.  My
question, is can you use the existing UNIX /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow file
so that we don't have to manage another list?

Thanks in advance!
