In the earlier versions of Samba, the default location for the smbpasswd file was /usr/local/samba/private It now appears to be /usr/local/private As near as I can tell, you create the password file with # smbpasswd -a <any user name> This seems to create /usr/local/private/smbpasswd will all users in /etc/passwd, and with a hashed password for the user specified in the command. Passwords can be added for any further users with the usual command: # smbpasswd <user name> The crucial step was running smbpasswd with the -a option. After that, the instructions in the documentation worked. Thanks to everyone who responded. Even though I didn't use any of the suggestions, they prodded me in the right direction. Bob Hall
