Hello, I've read and read and read and I still can't figure this one out. Is it possible to get samba to generate the smbpasswd file from an existing NT PDC or must it be generated from the local passwd/shadow files? What I need is a file with all the password hashes of the users on the NT network so that I can use it to CHAP authentication. Thanks, AJ 99 little bugs in the code, 99 bugs in the code, fix one bug, compile it again... 101 little bugs in the code....
