smbpasswd

Add/remove a Samba user or change its password. Samba users must have an existing local Unix account. More information: https://manned.org/smbpasswd.8.
  • Change the current user's SMB password:
    smbpasswd
  • Add a specified user to Samba and set password (user should already exist in system):
    sudo smbpasswd -a {{username}}
  • Modify an existing Samba user's password:
    sudo smbpasswd {{username}}
  • Delete a Samba user (use pdbedit instead if the Unix account has been deleted):
    sudo smbpasswd -x {{username}}
