samba add user

[Mr. Win]

I'm trying to create a user account for samba so that I can connect to it via Windows XP. How do I do this?

I'm on 07.04

To setup a password for your ubuntu user:
sudo smbpasswd -a your-user-name

To create a new samba user:
sudo useradd username
sudo smbpasswd -a username

[dmizer]

you're probably better off adding samba users that don't have shell access like so:
sudo useradd -s /bin/true username
sudo smbpasswd -L -a username
sudo smbpasswd -L -e username
