 Oh man this is frustrating :( Im sorry vent over,here we go
I deleted the *.pwl for my windows login and logged in using my windows user name witch is mike and my new pass 1234 :).
I changed my login pass on my BSD box for mike to 1234.
I did a 
frogger# smbpasswd -a mike -xe
frogger# smbpasswd -a mike -e
frogger# smbpasswd  mike
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Password changed for user mike.
frogger# smbpasswd -e mike
Enabled user mike.
frogger#

 And still no avail it is still giving me password errors :( If anyone out there can make any suggestions that would be fantastic cause I am stumped.

 Thanks in advance,

   Mike F.

 I changed the password for the samba login by using smbpasswd -a . I also made sure that I logged into the windows box using the same user name that I have on the BSD box that I changed the password for. So im using the same user name for both windows and BSD and the same password as well. You mentioned in the samba config that you have to add the user names in there and I did not see a place to do that. Is there any way you can give me a cut and paste of that config example ? I am also using Client for Microsoft Networks when I log in.

   Thanks,

     Mike F.




dude....samba as far as looging in on your windoze box...works just like Microsoft Networks...you assign user names and shared directories in the samba config....the way you log in..on the client windows box is the "Client for Microsoft Networks" login...heres how mine is setup..
i have 4 users...all are specified in samba ....you have actually add the users as accounts on the unix box ..either thru /stand/sysinstall ...or adduser....
also set your client windoze machines to use "client for microsoft networks" when you boot the win box up...itll ask for you network login...use one of the accounts specified on the unix box and samba...at his point you should be able to view at least the machines on the network and the samba server...the only other thing to do is setup the permissions on the directories...so that each user can access his or her folder.

  Subject: Re: Samba issues


   First off I would just like to say you guys ROCK !!!!! I really apprecaite the help. I am also happy to say it looks like I am almost there. After
  clearing up some space in /var and trying to re run Samba. >From the 
  Windows PC you can now view my Samba server :) The only problem is it is giving me password errors when trrying to log in. I have tried using every password I have to no avail. After looking back over the samba config I do not see any place to add a password. The one thing
  I can figure that may be a problem is that im on Win 98 and and the password encryption is set to yes. But im stumped. Any advice would be great. One more thing to auto start Samba at boot what would I have to do ??

     Thanks again,

      Mike F.
