[PLUG] samba

[Jon Galt <jongalt@pinn.net>]

Hello everyone,
  I normally use scp and ftp (only behind my firewall!) to transfer files
between my Windoze and Linux machines.  But now I'm trying to get Samba
working, and I've hit a snag.
  The current status is that my Win98 boxes can see the Linux box (in
Network Neighborhood), but I continue to get prompted for a password
whenever I try to access the machine.  I tried following some instructions
on a web page I found (http://kimihia.org.nz/how/samba/), but I can't seem
to get it to work.
  One point is that my username on the win98 boxes is "jon galt", with the
space.  I created such an account on the Linux box, and set the smb
password, and it didn't work.  Then I took the space out (made it
"jongalt") on both the Win98 box and on the Linux box, but I get the same
results.
  Can anybody help me get this working?  By the way, I do have the ability
to mount a remote Win98 drive on my Linux box (in case that's relevant).

Thanks,
Wayne
