Hi john,
just one thing to remind... have you set encyrpt password = yes?
and moreover, how is your security configuration look like? just like
share or user level?
remember to create all account you need in your linux machine.
and one thing: if you have to map user or map password from win to linux,
remember to set smbpasswd, smbusers (i cannot remember to real name, check
man smb.conf)
hope it helps u.
Yours sincerely,
JasonX
