The Samba 2.0 +code will read and write these older password files but will not be able to +modify the old entries to add the new fields. New entries added with +url(bf(smbpasswd (8)))(smbpasswd.8.html) will contain the new fields +in the added accounts however. Thus an older bf(smbpasswd) file used +with Samba 2.0 may end up with some accounts containing the new fields +and some not. + +In order to convert from an old-style bf(smbpasswd) file to a new +style, run the script bf(convert_smbpasswd), installed in the +Samba tt(bin/) directory (the same place that the url(bf(smbd))(smbd.8.html) +and url(bf(nmbd))(nmbd.8.html) binaries are installed) as follows: + +verb( + + cat old_smbpasswd_file | convert_smbpasswd > new_smbpasswd_file + +) + +The bf(convert_smbpasswd) script reads from stdin and writes to stdout +so as not to overwrite any files by accident. + +Once this script has been run, check the contents of the new smbpasswd +file to ensure that it has not been damaged by the conversion script +(which uses bf(awk)), and then replace the tt() +with the tt(). + label(VERSION) manpagesection(VERSION) -- cgit
