I discovered a couple of things digging in the prolific log files: user nobody is a really good idea smbpasswd needed a user of the same name as the share the valid users = I think negates the need for the second thing I found, but I'm not going to delete it since I have a user with the name of the share anyways an mixed case username was causing samba to look for alan instead of Alan, so I changed all my entries of Alan across the security files to alan
I can now browse and open my shares on my windows box. I also see a nifty deal for changing the volume name of the share from it's section title. I will give that a try on my children's cd's I am going to copy to my linux server so they no longer can damage them. >> I don't user "SHARE" type shares but here is where i would look. >> I do get this error normally when there is a passwd mismatch or >> i'm sending unencrypted instead of encrytped.
