I just got Samba up and running on my new RH7.2 box. It configured it to use encrypted passwords and everything so I don't have to do that WinX registry hack to enable plain text passwords. Anyway, samba requires you to have a smbpasswd file. This is in addition to the systems passwd file. Now I have to update both when I add a user. Does anyone have any scripts for automating this that they would like to share? Also, I don't imagine this will be the last service I setup on my machine that will require its own passwd file. What approaches do you recommend for designing user administration scripts that update all the different passwd files. Basically, what are the do's and don'ts? Thanks, David
