Our Windows side is switching to Active Domain, causing me to change my
Samba configuration. Skipping the details, here is what I am ending up
with on a Solaris 9 box.
1) A bunch of entries in /etc/passwd of the form first.lastname, because
you can't put an entry in /etc/sfw/private/smbpasswd unless it is first in
the /etc/passwd file.
2) A similar bunch of entries in /etc/shadow of the form
first.lastname:x:12345:::::
Note that the "x" makes this an account that you can't log in under.
3) A bunch of entries in /etc/passwd that don't have an associated home
directory.
4. I have to add each user to smbpasswd throught the SWAT GUI because the
smbpasswd command can't handle the first.lastname format.
Other than authentication running a little slower because of the extra
entries in the passwd/shadow set, is this going to give me any problems?
Since no one can log in to these accounts, I don't see it as a security
issue, but am I missing something?
