Does this user have both a Linux login and a Samba account? # grep craig /etc/passwd craig:x:1000:1000:craig:/home/craig:/bin/bash I'm a Linux user... root@srv2:~# pdbedit -Lv craig Unix username: craig NT username: craig ... snip ... I'm a samba user... If I weren't a samba user, I would necessarily need to add myself as a samba user... smbpasswd -a craig Personally, I am using LDAP which obviously you are not using so my methodologies for creating 'users' are entirely different but I have given you the basics for users in samba. A samba user MUST be a Linux user (or be mapped to a linux user in /etc/samba/smbusers). The samba users' password is not the same as the linux users' password (details too technical to go into here). If the linux user craig can access /home/me/test then the samba user craig an access //NAS/test This just gets you started - you really should be reading through the official documentation (and forget about all the various other 'aids' that you will stumble onto on the Internet). You should learn to implement groups, net group mapping, 'inherit privileges' and you will probably have a decent setup.
