Hello All,

I know that Samba can create users and passwords in the smbpasswd file, 
but is there a way to have Samba use the standard Linux passwd file for 
the user name and password?

Our users will just be connecting to their home directory via samba and 
I am not sure how to set the configuration to map their home directory 
and also use the existing Linux authentication from the passwd file.

Can anyone please explain to me what needs to be done or where I can 
read more on this?

Lonnie Cumberland
