samba - Nov 2002 - Access Linux PC from other windows machines in the WorkGroup

Dear Sir,
I want to access my Linux shared folder from other
windows PC's in the same work group. I have installed
TurboLinux7.0 in my PC. It has got samba server
shipped with it. I made settings in the /etc/smb.conf
file.
Now we can see my machine from the network
neighbourhood of other machines in the workgroup. But
when we try to access the linux PC from other windows
machine, it gives the following error message
"The account is not authorised to login from this
machine"
Please give me more information on this.
Thanks & BestRegards,
Raks

It looks like you probably need to read some
beginner's introduction to Samba.

To answer your question, we'd need a copy of
your smb.conf file, at least. You also might
add information such as:

1. Unix version used as Samba host.
2. Version of Samba in use.
3. Is your Windows network a workgroup or domain?
4. Version of Windows the client is running.

My guess is that you didn't set up your accounts
on the Samba server using smbpasswd.  Try:

# smbpasswd -a <username>

(run as root user), where username is the name of
an account on the Samba host (Unix system), and is
used by the Windows user to log on.
