NAME
       mksmbpasswd - formats a /etc/passwd entry for a smbpasswd file

SYNOPSIS
       mksmbpasswd  cat	 /etc/passwd | /usr/sbin/mksmbpasswd > /etc/samba/smb‐
       passwd

DESCRIPTION
       mksmbpasswd  should  be	used  only  once,  the	first  time  Samba  is
       installed.  The	idea  is to ease accounts creation by transferring all
       user accounts from /etc/passwd to /etc/samba/smbpasswd.

       Please note that	 passwords  are	 not  transferred  automatically  from
       /etc/passwd  to the new /etc/samba/smbpasswd file. After running mksmb‐
       passwd all accounts are disabled so the system administrator  must  run
       smbpasswd for each account that needs to be enable.

FILES
       /etc/passwd
	      System wide accounts file

       /etc/samba/smbpasswd
	      Encrypted passwords file for the Samba daemons
