samba - Apr 2004 - Samba no access

Dear Sir

I am mailing you in my frustration that nobody can help me to solve a problem.
Could you try and help me? Well in short this is my problem.

I recently installed a new server at a local college with fedora. It is working
well as a internet sharing masquerading server but the file server using samba
is a mess. I have tried everything and I do not get it going. Firstly if I use
security share then I can view the files that I set to every one, if I put
restriction onto that it does not work. Setting security to user fails, I cannot
access the server, does not recognise my password and username. I come to a
conclusion that it does not recognise my users on the system. But they do appear
in the smbpasswd and passwd files. To avoid any starting problems I created a
dummy user with its own group, then added a user to that group. Still does not
work. I desperately want to get the homes to work.

Please I would be grateful for a reply. 

If you would like to have a copy of my smb.cinfig then I am willing to mail it
to you.

Regards 
Chris Botha.

I could do with some more info. Yeh your smb.conf would be useful, and a
log on level 3 would also be good.

What errors do you get when you are rejected?

Try connecting to the server locally using smbclient
