Hi, I'm running SAMBA 2.28 on FreeBSD 5.1 and i administrate the system with the web interface 'webmin' and have done so with little problem for some time. yet, today i added a new user to FreeBSD, and assumed that the new user should be able to access my shares as; SAMBA is configured to mirror the users in unix. The new user could not access any of the shares from an XP as the newly created accounts, but could do so as my own account. Upon closer viewing, i noticed the new users we being added to SAMBA as 'Normal user' with 'No password'. I run on my network a simple windows for workgroups set-up, and i have been administering SAMBA with webmin without a hitch until now. What should i be looking for? I cannot see any difference in the new user's account in FreeBSD and my account, nor in the smb.conf file.
