Hi everyone out there,

i want to create some samba users to give different people different access to my nas device.
but i reccognized that there is no "smbadduser" command.
how can i add samba user without giving them a system account?

The 'smbpasswd' command is in the samba-server package in 0.9 backports.

Please can you give me more detail on the use of smbpasswd. Explain how I create a user called "user1" and password "pass1" to my share?

smbpasswd -a [username]

smbpasswd -a user1

smbpasswd  user1

    smbpasswd [options] [username]
otherwise:
    smbpasswd [options]

options:
  -L                   local mode (must be first option)
  -h                   print this usage message
  -s                   use stdin for password prompt
  -c smb.conf file     Use the given path to the smb.conf file
  -D LEVEL             debug level
  -r MACHINE           remote machine
  -U USER              remote username
extra options when run by root or in local mode:
  -a                   add user
  -d                   disable user
  -e                   enable user
  -i                   interdomain trust account
  -m                   machine trust account
  -n                   set no password
  -w PASSWORD          ldap admin password
  -x                   delete user
  -R ORDER             name resolve order
