E is outdated, smbpasswd isn't the best method anymore.

Surprised to see people think Samba can use /etc/shadow!

I think D is correct. Samba can't use those files directly.

I remember something about needing to run smbpasswd, but I can't recall if it was to link the files or convert them.

I’m leaning towards option D, but I feel like there might be a way to configure it to use those files directly.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I feel like the option about setting the password algorithm to crypt might be important.

I think I remember that Samba can use the /etc/passwd file, but I'm not sure if it needs the shadow file too.
