[Samba] Timing in a script

[Helmut Hullen]

Hallo, Volker,

Du meintest am 15.05.09:

>> I am trying to write a script in which I can add users and their

>> useradd -c "User Name" -g groupname -p unixpassword accountname
>>
>>    echo -e "smbpassword\nsmbpassword\n" | pdbedit -a -t -u
>> accountname
>>
>> If

In my installation: no nscd (and no LDAP, and no winbind).
Tested with samba 3.0.28 to 3.0.33 (not my favorite bug to test it in  
every new version ...)


Viele Gruesse!
