No. There is specific Unix user X, and client uses
mount -t smbfs -o username=X,password=... ... ...
Basically, only user X is supposed to access the samba. I defined security=user.
But the convenient password setup for me would be the unix password of X, not
the separate smbpasswd. Can I tell smb.conf to use /etc/shadow password instead
of separate password defined by smbpasswd ?
