Hello, this is my first time writing to this mailing list. The language which is spoken in the list is english? I'm german. So please correct me. I try to install Samba 2.2.2 on a Linux Mandrake8 machine. Compiling the source and installing it worked well. at the moment the file smbpasswd is missing. How can I create this file? Shouldn't the install routine create that file? Thanks for any help. -- best regards Roland

Shouldn't the install routine create that file?The install routine couldn't do more than install a black smbpasswd file with a comment (and the comment is in the docu): You only need the smbpasswd file if you use encrypted passwords with samba. In this case use the command "smbpasswd -a user" to add users to the smbpasswd file. I hope this creates the file if it is missing. If not, mail me an I will tell you more.
