Subject: RE: [SLUG] Samba help for Linux Newbee
No Unix on this network, just one W2k and one SuSE Linix box behind a DHCP
Router.
I ran smbpasswd and tested it with "smbclient //TUX400/ken -U ken%password".
Worked fine, I can see all my files. So I figured I'm close, yet at the W2K
box, the user "ken" cannot get authorized. I assumed the share "smb-share"
should be browsable by any account. Gotta be missing some small detail...
BTW, what's your suggestion for a text editor that will let me edit as SU?
I'm currently using vi because I haven't figured out how to use any other
editor when I'm using my regular account and need to edit smb.config. Bill
Joy once said about vi - "If I had known how popular it would become, I
never would have created it."
Thanks for your assistance.

Have you created Samba users using the smbpasswd utility? Even if the Unix
users exist, you won't authenticate until samba users are configured.
Does the Unix user have access to the share on the Unix side? I.e., check
that the permissions allow the unix user to see inside.
