Hello to all:
First of all, sorry about my poor english. I am spanish :)
I have a debian machine running as a samba file server. The important part
of smb.conf is here:
security = share
encrypt passwords = true
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
obey pam restrictions = yes
invalid users = root
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword: %n\n
Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword: %
n\n .
I want to create samba users without local unix account. I've tried the
following:
smbpasswd -a newuser
This command fails if newuser doesn't exist in local machine
(in /etc/passwd). If the user exist, the smbpasswd -a command runs well.
How can i create samba users without create local unix users?
Thanks in advance
