 ===== Add users =====
-Add users in two steps:
+To use Samba a user must also have a Unix account.  Create the Unix account and add the user to any required groups before you attempt to create the Samba account.
-  * Unix account (using ''useradd'')
-  * Samba account (using swat or ''smbpasswd'')
-<note important>It is important that you add the Unix account and set the password first, or else Samba will complain!</note>
+Add the user:
 <code># useradd mkyalo</code>
 In ''/etc/passwd'', add the real name and group to the user's entry.  See before and after:
