!!NAME


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


mksmbpasswd cat /etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd
!!DESCRIPTION


__mksmbpasswd__ should be used only once, the first time
Samba is installed. The idea is to ease accounts creation by
transferring all user accounts from /etc/passwd to
/etc/samba/smbpasswd.


Please note that passwords are not transferred automatically
from /etc/passwd to the new /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. After
running __mksmbpasswd__ all accounts are disabled so the
system administrator must run smbpasswd for each account
that needs to be enable.
!!FILES


/etc/passwd


System wide accounts file


/etc/samba/smbpasswd


Encrypted passwords file for the Samba daemons
