Hi Rowland/All,

I want to sync the local /etc/passwd to smbpasswd database in Aix. Can someone please help with any tools or scripts available to proceed further. 

Setting up a domain level user for all the samba users is tough for us right now. 

Regards,
Krishna

OK, that isn't easy to understand, but I think you mean your users log into a Windows domain computer then connect to your Samba standalone server, is this correct ?

If it is correct, WHY?

Doing it this way, means you have to create the users three times!
If the user changes their password, it also needs to be changed on the standalone server.

Have you considered using a Unix domain member instead, this way you only create the user once.

See here for more info:

I would suggest using the 'rid' backend if you do go this way.
