It was very confusing for me as well, but now I woudn't touch system-config-samba with a stick. :) Smb.cof generated by it is bloated beyond reason. First of all, You have to set up a standard unix user with useradd and passwd. Username may be the same as on Windows client. Now type smbpasswd -a <that_user_name> to specify *samba* password for that user. In smb.conf type: ------------------------------- [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = 192.168.1.5 - this is your IP hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1. - restrict access to ip range interfaces = lo eth0 192.168.1. - more restrictions passdb backend = smbpasswd - this is for our password security = user log file = /var/log/samba/%I.log max log size = 5678 [homes] comment = Home Diretories browseable = no writable = yes ------------------------------- On Windows Explorer, type \\192.168.1.5\<that_user_name> and enter samba password.
