Take a look at some of these docs: http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smbpasswd.8.html http://us3.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/Samba24Hc13.pdf ftp://ftp.stratus.com/pub/vos/customers/samba/ Note the following additional information: 1) If your problem is with logging in via samba, you'll probably get better assistance posting your question to the samba mailing lists: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/ 2) If your problem is with samba, you'll most likely need to include your smb.conf file in order to get any decent help. > > Cheers > Chris > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Moran [mailto:wmoran@potentialtech.com] > Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2004 12:29 PM > To: Christopher Svensrud > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.org > Subject: Re: Login question > > Christopher Svensrud wrote: > >>I keep having the same problem with login.
