Dear All,

I'm trying to configure a mac as a smb server and am encountering numerous difficulties in doing so. While I managed to get around most of them thanks to google and various posts on forums, one remains unsettled.

I have my samba server running and what to add new users and passwords. Yet, when I want to use useradd or adduser, neither of the commands are recognized in the Mac OS X 10.6 terminal.

Moreover, the smbpasswd command is either non reconized when using sudo or, when logged in as a root, I get :

sh: /usr/bin/smbpasswd: Permission denied

I also tried adding users through webmin, but I can only synchronize does on the Mac and when I want to modify the passwords, I get :

Access control violation : Failed to change password using smbpasswd :

Hence my question : How do you add and update smb users on Mac OS X ?

Cheers,

Jyer
 
Is there really nobody who knows how to use smbpasswd and useradd on Mac OS X 10.6 ???
