Script to configure samba share and set password automaticaly

[Kevin Olbrich]

I did not read the whole smbpasswd man page but you can initialize the user with „-a username“ instead of adding it and then editing the password.
Just make sure to pipe the password two times, this way you can automate the process.

Best regards,
Kevin Olbrich.
