Problem: The User Password Sync on Standalone Samba Server like Debian & Ubuntu without LDAP is broken since years! So i wrote a small Script called add-user-smb.sh: #!/bin/bash # Prompt for username read -p "Username: " username # Prompt for password without echoing read -p "Password: " password # Add a new User to Linux sudo useradd -m $username echo "$username:$password"| sudo chpasswd # Add same User to SAMBA Subsystem with same Password! sudo smbpasswd -a $username<<EOF $password $password EOF
