Hallo, i installed samba V2.0.3 on a linux server in a company. for better security i will use encypted passwords. for synchronisation of the unix password file and the samba password file i tried out the script mksmbpasswd script. my security settings at the server are easy and i set the permissions of the unix passwd file at 774 and also my smbpasswd file at 744. starting the script with the command: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh >/usr/local/samba/private the only message i get is: "permission denied" . at the encryption text file is nothing mentioned about this problem and no advice given. it should work, but it doesn't! can somebody please help me with this problem.

Is there any possibility to search through samba digest ? It can save a lot of time for both askers and answerers. Alex
