Subject: [Samba] Pdbedit <-> /etc/passwd sync?

Hi,

i have a question about syncing without pdbedit (exactly iformations stored in 
passdb.tdb) and /etc/passwd.

I creating user with some comment, for example

adduser test -c "my comment" -d /home/users/test -g 600 -s /bin/false

and then i will add this user to samba

pdbedit -a -s /etc/samba/smb.conf -u test

Now i have stored in samba also comment "my comment", but why? Pdbedit can load 
this comment from /etc/passwd and save to passdb.tdb? Can I change this 
behaviour? I dont want storing this infomations duplicated (in /etc/passwd and 
also in /passdb.tdb).

If i modifying existing user and i changed comment in /etc/passwd, then comment 
in passdb.tdb remain a same. It's possible load comment from /etc/passwd to 
passdb.tdb "on the fly", it means without permanent storing in passdb.tdb

I have in smb.conf this setting:

unix password sync = yes

but i think that this parameter dont have effect for this behavior.



thanks, Lukas
