DESCRIPTION

The "Samba Password File" domain template allows writing user account information out into Samba's /etc/samba/smbpasswd files. This template supports the traditional text based file formats only.

When the smbpasswd files are overwritten, both locally existing users and Director managed users will appear in the resulting files. Local users will be identified by their uid and gid, the ranges treated as local are configurable.

Note

However, if a Director managed and a local user with the same name exist, the Director managed user will always take precedence. Director managed users will be removed from the local files if they disappear from the Director, local users are not.

With the "Only Assigned Users/Groups" option enabled only users/groups that are explicitly assigned to the respective target host will be effective. These are set within the host record in the Director.
