managing users from smbpasswd rather than /etc/passwd
I have samba installed on a web server (behind a firewall). It's working
fine with all the WINS networking here (eg, password authentication from
the NT servers, etc).
I (we) want this web server - a linux redhat 5.x box currently running
samba-1.9.18p8 - to have as few actual unix login accounts as possible.
What I want/need to do is to allow LOTS of people in the faculty here
