samba - Jul 2003 - (no subject)

Hi I have installed samba 2.2.8 on a box running Fresco as a router and Web
server. On my Win2000 box I can see the router but when I try to get in and
access the shared files it asks for a password I don't know what it is I
never set that up. What password does it come with by default?
I ran the command smbpasswd and get the following msg

Failed to find entry for user Root
Failed to modify password entry for user Root

Can anyone pleas help?

Michael,

You need to set up your "root" user account in Samba.  Enter the
following command:

Smbpasswd -a root

You will be prompted to enter the root password and retype to verify as
follows:

New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Added user root.

I would recommend that you adduser to your linux router then add the
same users to samba with smbpasswd -a instead of using the root account
for normal file access.  Your call.

In my experience, I use root account only when adding machines to my
domain controller.
