Re: Connecting to a Windows share
|
Use "smbpasswd jim" while logged in as root. You might have to use
"smbpasswd -a jim" if he is not id the smbpasswd file. If the password and
username are the same on Win and Linux then all should proceed.
That's what I do here. I have usernames match linux login names and I keep
the passwords the same. I have a small network with Fedora running as a
server and providing file and print services to my windows users.
SELECT * FROM users WHERE clue > 0;
0 rows returned

I tried that, but I do not know the format. I tried typing like a host
file, i.e.:
jim <password>
Is there syntax involved in this? I used the GUI to open the file, type it
in, then saved the file. Still no luck.

Jim,
Did you set the username/password for the user Jim using smbpasswd ?
Samba does NOT use the password/shadow file for password !
