samba - May 1999 - share.

Hi . I'm quite new to samba and therefore have a mabe a little dumb
question.

I've created a share

[opt]
	comment= jumpys opt
	path= /opt
	valid users=gbg_joel
	public=no
	writable=yes
	printable=no

When I trie to map this with net use r: \\jumpy\opt
I get the errormessage wrong password.

But I'm using the same uid and password in my windows95 machine  as I'm
doing on my unixhost
gbg_joel .
The guest shares works fine by the way. And I can log in to my UNIX host
with gbg_joel

Do I have to add gbg_joel someplace more than in my /etc/passwd file ?

What system is Samba authenticating the username/password for Windows against? 
Are you authenticating against an smb password file or a unix password file 
(local or NIS), or are you authenticating against another NT PDC somewhere?
Do you have 'encrypt passwords = yes' set?  If not, and the client is
W95, did
you check to see if it's OSR2?  If it is (or if it's W98/NT, did you
make the
registry hack to enable plaintext passwords?

Also, I highly recommend you grab a copy of one of the two great books out 
there on Samba.  Both were written by members of the Samba development team, 
and have saved me a tremendous amount of time.  You can find them both at 
amazon.com.

I hope that helps some.
