vii. Delete the root account from the CIFS password back end by running the following
command:

5. Add a local UNIX group, which is required for shared resource ownership and access control.
6. For each group identity (at least one is required) create a UNIX group and then map it into the
SMB/CIFS environment as shown here:
# groupadd engineers
# net groupmap add
Replace engineers
7. Add local SMB/CIFS user accounts.
a. For each separate user who requires read-only access to the SMB/CIFS server, add a UNIX used
account and then create the SMB/CIFS account extensions as shown here:
# useradd -m -g users
# passwd myname
Enter new UNIX password: xxxxxxxxx
Retype new UNIX password: xxxxxxxxx
Passwd: password
# smbpasswd -a
New SMB password: xxxxxxxxx
Retype new SMB password: xxxxxxxxx
Added user Administrator.
b. For each separate user who requires read/write to access the SMB/CIFS server add a UNIX used
account and then create the SMB/CIFS account extensions as shown here and provide the
required information. The -G argument specifies that the user is assigned to a secondary group.
# useradd -m -g users
# usermod -a -G engineers
# passwd myname
Enter new UNIX password: xxxxxxxxx
Retype new UNIX password: xxxxxxxxx
Passwd: password
# smbpasswd -a
New SMB password: xxxxxxxxx
Retype new SMB password: xxxxxxxxx
Added user Administrator.
IMPORTANT:
preserving. Create accounts using only lower-case characters.
