I am a new Samba user - I just installed on Solaris 8 and (finally) got smbd and nmbd running. Now how do you create a user in Samba? The documentation provides tons of information about smbadduser and smbpasswd except *how to use it.* Any help is greatly appreciated. For example, how to I create a Samba "root" user if I am the Unix "root" user? Thanks -- JW

Can you get to SWAT? I'm unfamiliar with Solaris so I'm not sure this is possible but if you can run a browser, you can get to port 901 and then add users from there. That's what I do.
