Very Computer

Tell me it ain't so.  Just got Samba running.  RH 7 install.  I just had to
add users to the samba passwd list in order to prevent getting "Can't make
IPC$ Connection supply password"  sort of message.

I got this fix off the samba docs.

Someone tell me that I won't have to do this for all 700 students?!  There
is no way to let samba see that the user name and passwd that the Win98
client used is the same as in the passwd file and let them in?

Thanks for any thoughts on this

Ouch. I can't really see a way of getting around that... maybe some sort
of Perl or shell script could be written to do it if you had all their
information in a nice neat formatted file...

If you installed all of RH7 you should have a utility called webmin
available to you. Just open your webbrowser and use
https://localhost:10000 and your root un and pw and under the network tab
there is a section for samba. There is a utility there to convert unix
users to samba users. Hope that helps.
