Hi all, I just setup samba 3 on centos 5.5, and i'm having some problems with usernames/passwords. I'm unable to login to my home directory with my username and password. 1. I've done smbpasswd -a to add the username 2. I've done smbpasswd -e to enable the username 3. The unix username and windows username are both manishie 4. The /home/manishie directory permissions are: "drwxr-xr-x 4 manishie manishie" I can successfully access file or printer shares with the "guest ok = yes" flag. I cannot login from either windows 7 or from os x to the home directory share, because the password is not accepted. my smb.conf follows. Any ideas? Thanks! mkm ---------------------------------------------------------- [global] workgroup = manishienet server string = wiggly server netbios name = wiggles browseable = yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = share ; passdb backend = tdbsam local master = yes os level = 65 preferred master = yes wins support = yes wins proxy = yes load printers = yes cups options = raw printcap name = cups printing = cups [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = yes writable = yes valid users = %S [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba guest ok = yes writable = no printable = yes browseable = no guest ok = yes [public] path = /home/tmp public = yes writable = yes printable = no ----------------------------------------------------------
