Hi, I am new with SAMBA so please be patient if the questions are silly.? I have a network with some 100 computers and 150 users. How can I add new users to the system? I know I have to add them both to Samba and Linux. The YAST GUI is no problem, it's more when I come to Samba. I think I am logged in as root in the Linux prompt and try to add users, but am not successful.? Is there something I should think of? Thanks in advance! /Anna-Karin

With this tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LdLwuIrW1jw you can be up in an hour. The slowest bit of the setup for us (25 computers, 300 users) was joining windows 7 boxes to the domain. There is a regedit to do. Good luck and I know the feeling;) Steve.
