SMB fail to find the entry for user ....

 

今天在安装samba增加用户，并且使用smbpasswd生成密码的时候出现如下错误： 
[root@10.60.10.27 /backup]$ smbpasswd test
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to find entry for user test.
Failed to modify password entry for user test

说明是没有该用户，请使用 -a 参数

OPTIONS
       -a
           This option specifies that the username following should be added to the local smbpasswd file, with the new
           password typed (type <Enter> for the old password). This option is ignored if the username following
           already exists in the smbpasswd file and it is treated like a regular change password command. Note that
           the default passdb backends require the user to already exist in the system password file (usually
           /etc/passwd), else the request to add the user will fail.

           This option is only available when running smbpasswd as root.

解决方法：

加参数‘-a’：

# smbpasswd  -a 用户即可
