Hello everybody, am newbie in samba, i need some help. I just installed samba into my Ubuntu 7.10 server machine. I can set up shares etc. but only with default user.... I tried to add new users: sudo useradd user or sudo adduser user then smbpasswd - a user and added user = "user" in /etc/samba/smbusers added share: [demo] comment = Network user path = /home/user browseable = yes valid users = user writable = yes create mask = 0700 I cannot login, error (not access...) but shares with default user are working.. Here is my smb.conf: #======================= Global Settings ====================== [global] ## Browsing/Identification ### workgroup = MSHOME server string = SSK Failu Saugykla # Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section: # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server wins support = yes # WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client # Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both ; wins server = w.x.y.z # This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS. dns proxy = no # What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names # to IP addresses ; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast #### Networking #### # The specific set of interfaces / networks to bind to # This can be either the interface name or an IP address/netmask; # interface names are normally preferred ; interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0 # Only bind to the named interfaces and/or networks; you must use the # 'interfaces' option above to use this. # It is recommended that you enable this feature if your Samba machine is # not protected by a firewall or is a firewall itself.
