Samba Help

[Justin Bennett]

You'll need to add a unix account and samba account for the machine
names logging onto the network (2K and NT only), and then your regular
user account. Example from /etc/passwd:
Marco is my desktop, polo my laptop... :)

marco$:x:501:501::/home/marco$:/bin/bash

and then add the machine with smbpasswd -m 

See:
http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/samba-pdc-howto.html

for more info.....


Hope this helps
Justin
