13 mksmbpasswd - formats a /etc/passwd entry for a smbpasswd file
14 !!SYNOPSIS

16
17 mksmbpasswd cat /etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd
18 !!DESCRIPTION
19
20
21 __mksmbpasswd__ should be used only once, the first time
22 Samba is installed. The idea is to ease accounts creation by
23 transferring all user accounts from /etc/passwd to
24 /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
25
26
27 Please note that passwords are not transferred automatically
28 from /etc/passwd to the new /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. After
29 running __mksmbpasswd__ all accounts are disabled so the
30 system administrator must run smbpasswd for each account
31 that needs to be enable.
