Actually, when I set up samba, I never set up any additional user-id / passwords. I just told samba to use the unix user authentication methods. I agree that reading the samba howto would be good advice and also reading the config file in completeness will tell a lot too as there are good comments inside the file. I'm referring to the sample configuration file that typically comes with the samba package on most installations. A good start is to rename this sample config file to /etc/smb.conf. The two samba servers, smbd and nmbd look to this file. On Tue, 23 Oct 2001, Dawes, Stephen wrote: > 1. have you setup samba users & passwords?
