As you can read in my previous thread, I have tried creating a user database for Samba3 using MySQL. But because of lack of good documentation I decided to abandon it and go for the default tdbsam instead.
But I have a big problem: How do I add users in tdbsam? I know how to use smbpasswd and the manual has a command for converting the smbpasswd file to the tdbsam file, but I want to add users directly in tdbsam.
You might say 'as long as smbpasswd is supported, use it', which is true, but it's officialy depreciated (sp), what if they entirely abandon smbpasswd in a (one of the) next release(s)? That's why I want to know now how I can use the command for tdbsam.
Thanks
