I am new at Samba. I just about have it working. From my windows XP client, I can access the workgroup and then see the server. When I click on server to access network folders, the login pops up. I put in the username and password (both of which are already in Samba). The login window refreshes and I get in the login screen: XXX/username, with XXX being the name of my local Windows XP computer. I put in password and the window just refreshes the same and I can't get past it. My /home directory is 777 and the user's directory is 700. I am using Webmin as much as possible. Any help will be great. The answer is probably simple. Thanks. David
dear
First u make it sure that you are accessing it with correct alias
share name.And you try this with cmd line from any linux machine
#smbclient -L //<server-ip> -N
Above cmd will display the share name (alias name).
now
#smbclient //<server-ip>/<sharename> -U <username>
If you are not able to access then verify the path of your samba share in
configuration .

Keep in mind xxxxxx must be the same for useradd & smbpasswd. useradd test passwd test xxxxxx xxxxxx smbpasswd -a test xxxxxx xxxxxx In share definition set valid users = test root Adrian Sender.
