hello there i just loaded samba on my rh
6.2 . i am having so much trouble, or if
someone could show me what the hell i'm
doing wrong.
1. I would like to share a folder for
certain users ( system12 )
2 . folder name "hourtrack"
I did all this here's a copy of my
smb.conf file
[global]
workgroup = cs
server string
= localhost # computer name , i see
it in win98 networt
sercurity
= SHARE
[hourtrack]
comments clock in hours
path /usr/local/src/users # path for
file that user will work on
valid users system12 # user name
read list yes
write list yes
create mask 0777 # is this the
permission for the folder dont know ?
after i did this. i went to my win98
machine rebooted and login as user
"system12" with a password that i assign
when i created the user in linux.
I go to network neig , i locate the
"localhost" machine . double click on it
, and what do i see
the "hourtrack" folder. I know that in
the folder there are files in there.
when i double click on the folder (
hourtrack) it asks me for a password. I
enter the password that i assign
to system12 in my linux bx .
then i get a error
message saying " The password is
incorrect. Try again ."
can someon tell me what the hell i'm
doing wrong. i been at this the whole
day
looked around went to deja, samba
homepage. but i can not figure it out.
so please help me out
thank you Luis

Read ENCRYPTION.txt for this. What Win95.txt has to also applies to Win98. I suggest you start over with "man smb.conf" and also have a look into DIAGNOSIS.txt.
