Ok, I think I found the solution, running smbpasswd <username> and
the <username> needs to exists in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow, enter
the password and use that password to access the files via Windows.

Samba 2.2.8a, Solaris 9 4/04 core installation, 192.168.1/24 network.
I managed to setup Samba in the very basic way and can access the pub
directory below. However, I need to setup some private directory and
authenticate users in the very basic way via /etc/shadow? or using
smbpasswd?
This pub works fine.
[pub]
comment = Public
path = /home/tmp
browseable = yes
public = yes
writeable = yes
force group = nobody
read only = no
public = yes
guest ok = yes
All I need is to authenticate off of /etc/shadow or whatever the most
basic authentication available on Solaris 9. So when user 'mike'
connects
it'll just prompt for username/password. The client is Windows based,
however, I keep getting MACHINE\Guest (gray out) and Password field.
[test]
comment = test
path = /home
browseable = yes
writeable = yes
What do I need to set in [test] to authenticate user 'mike' off of the
/etc/passwd and /etc/shadow file?
