samba - Oct 2010 - ACL from win2k doesn't work

I'm trying to setup a simple standalone Samba server in a win2k 
network without domain.

I've followed some basic howto on the net, users can see shares and can 
save, modify and delete files and folders.

My big problem is the security tab: i can't add any user because the 
screen where i can see users list ask me for a password.

With an admin user and password (the same that i use to log into share) 
it tells something like "credentials supplied conflict with an existing 
set of credentials"

If I don't insert user and password it tells "access denied".

Also I can't modify existing acl.

Logs are with debug level = 3 but no error is present.

Thanks

Are you logged into your workstation as a Administrator?  Is the local
Administrator password on your workstation same as on the server?  Even if
this is the case, the samba may still complain that you initially connected
as one user ("PC\Administrator") and now want to connect as another
use
"Server\Adminstrator."

You could try the following:
	From the command prompt on the PC type  "net use" to see how you are
currently connect to the server.
	Type "net use /delete ..." to delete existing connection
	Type "net use \\server /user: server\administrator" to reconnect
with the correct credentials.

Not sure if the syntax is correct or if it will work anyway.

Otherwise I think your two options are 
	1. to use unix command line to set permissions (e.g. setfacl if you
want more than one user or group assigned)
	2. join your PC to the domain.

I'm not an expert, so someone may have to correct me.  I'm fairly 
certain that if you expect a client to modify the acl of files on the 
server, said client will need access to the users on that server, and 
the only way a client can get a list of users from a server is to be a 
member of that server's domain.  If you want to keep your network domain 
free, you will have to modify permissions on the server, not from the 
Windows client.
