how to add existing users from an existing servere

Post by fiberkill » 2021/02/25 06:25:03

Hi all.

hope you can help me with my samba problem.

I have the following situation:
I need to add Samba users from an existing Samba server to another Samba server on a second server (other users already exist here).
But I don't want to have to create each user individually on the other server. Can I somehow insert the existing users into the user database of the new server?

Thanks in advance :-)

cheers fk

Which user database? Does Samba have its own accounts that merely map to POSIX accounts?
Authentication usually requires passwords, etc. How are those stored?
