I can not connect to my linux box from my Mac. I get a 'Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct' error. I'm not sure where to check to even see what username/pwd samba is using. If I open up my smbpasswd file, it looks like this: drrl:501:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:[UD]:LCT-402FFFE4: Is there anyway/format that I can add a usr/pwd to this file in plain-text so I can test it? I'm stumped as to how to tell which pwds samba is using for log-ins. -Darrel
