Hi, I have SAMBA configured for FReeBSD and a number of Win machines. I can see all the UNIX shares from the Win boxes. Those that have no restrictions applied in smb.conf (eg the /tmp share) will allow file transfer to and from these directories; but Windows will not allow access to those directories that have restrictions (eg to /home/ric) and require a password. Windows returns the message: The password is incorrect. Try again. Is this a problem at the Windows end (something to do with profiles???) or is it that Samba needs to be configured to lookup passwords? At the moment valid usernames and passwords have been created only for UNIX logons (i.e. /etc passwds). Any ideas?
