When I try to create samba passwords I get an error:
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number) failed to find entery for user failed to modify password entery for user
I have created a smbpasswd file and it lists the users I am trying to change passwords for. Can some one tell me what my problem is?
