As an example, the resulting entry in the LDAP directory server
for a client machine named “client1” would be:

gidNumber: 202
homeDirectory: /home/temp
loginShell: /bin/false
userPassword: {crypt}x

3. Run the smbpasswd program on the Samba PDC server to create the
Windows account:
• Use the following command to add the Windows account for a
Windows client to the /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd file
if LDAP is disabled:
$ smbpasswd -a -m client1$
An example of the associated machine entry in the
/etc/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd file for a client machine
named “client1” would be:
client1$:*803:808:ED816822D0393DAAD3B435B51404DD:321A
