Hello, I have Win98 clients that need to connect "securely" to directories on Linux boxes. In smb.conf, I have added these home directories: [Luser Dir] comment = dir public = no browseable = yes writable = yes path = /home/luser Accounts have been created in the appropriate directories with proper accessibility, this includes passwords. This was done with "useradd -c "name" -m -s/bin/sh............., Then "passwd luser"........... When I try to access the directories from Network neighbourhood, I am prompted for the passwords but get "wrong password" error messages when I enter the luser's passwds. Does this mean I must populate smbpasswd with these lusers etc...? Or what??? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
