I don't understand your question I guess. User information is kept in
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, group info kept in /etc/group.
Samba is using the old smbpasswd back end - the text file kept in
/usr/local/samba/lib. I have used the smbpasswd command to add the
users and machines to the smbpasswd file.
I think that is about as basic as it gets - no NIS, no NIS+, no LDAP,
just plain, old flat files holding the info.
Thanks,
Bob
