I am new at Samba. I just about have it working. From my windows XP client, I can access the workgroup and then see the server. When I click on server to access network folders, the login pops up. I put in the username and password (both of which are already in Samba). The login window refreshes and I get in the login screen: XXX/username, with XXX being the name of my local Windows XP computer. I put in password and the window just refreshes the same and I can't get past it. My /home directory is 777 and the user's directory is 700. I am using Webmin as much as possible. Any help will be great. The answer is probably simple. Thanks. David
dear First u make it sure that you are accessing it with correct alias share name.And you try this with cmd line from any linux machine #smbclient -L //<server-ip> -N Above cmd will display the share name (alias name). now #smbclient //<server-ip>/<sharename> -U <username> If you are not able to access then verify the path of your samba share in configuration . regards cp tiwari On Fri, 19 May 2006 David Ackerman wrote :>I am new at Samba.

Keep in mind xxxxxx must be the same for useradd & smbpasswd. useradd test passwd test xxxxxx xxxxxx smbpasswd -a test xxxxxx xxxxxx In share definition set valid users = test root Adrian Sender.
