It appears I have things set up. Linux (RH6.1) box is running samba and I'm trying to access shares from my 98 box.>From Network Neighborhood I can see the linux bo listed with the other LANboxes. If I d-click to open the smb box, I DO get a folder withthe share name in explorer. Then, if I try to open that folder (share) it asks for a password for resource \\MACHINE\SHARE I enter my password for the linux box, but it says it's incorrect. The share name is the same as my login name for both the linux box and the 98 box, though I don't have a password set up for the 98 box. The security option is set to USER, yes to encrypt passwords. What can I try to get past this hurdle. Looking at "DIAGNOSING YOUR SAMBA SERVER" and trying 'net use x: \\machine\share prompts for the passwrd with the same results. If I 'smbclient -L machine I get ERRSRV - ERRbadpw smbclient '\\BIGSERVER\TMP' also gives the same error thanks for any ideas, Chris

Because you configure "security = users" and "encrypt password = yes". It will check the "/etc/smbpasswd" file rather than "/etc/passwd". So you need to create this file manually because the default Samba RPM won't create this file. (Because not everyone enable this option and the default is not enable this option.) You'd better delete the "/etc/smbpasswd" file first and use "smbadduser" to create new user in the file and use "smbpasswd" to encrypt the password. Because different version of Samba will have a little different format in the "/etc/smbpasswd". So I suggest you re-create the file if you upgrade the samba from other version.
