Description

If we add a local user (in /etc/passwd) and then do:
smbadm enable-user $U
passwd $U (set a password)
we'll have an SMB user (in /var/smb/smbpasswd)

If we then delete the user from /etc/passwd
the SMB user stays (in /var/smb/smbpasswd)

We should have a method to remove such users,
both at the command line, and programatically. i.e.
smbadm delete-user ...

Affected Components:
smbsrv

  • Description updated (diff)
  • Status changed from New to In Progress

Proposed design:

1: new operation code for smb_pwd_setcntl(), called like:
error = smb_pwd_setcntl(user, SMB_PWC_DELETE);
This operation removes the user line from /var/smb/smbpasswd

2: new smbadm sub-command
smbadm delete-user $U
Similar to smbadm-disable user, calls:
error = smb_pwd_setcntl(user, SMB_PWC_DELETE);

Tested per description
Fix in production since late 2017
