scenario/pre-requisites:
-------------------
1) windows username = myWinUser, password = 12345
linux/samba steps:
---------------
1) create a linux user:
> useradd myLinuxUser
2) open up the /etc/samba/smbusers file and add the below line:
myLinuxUser = myWinUser
* note: myWinUser is really the name of your samba user; this will
map your samba/win user to a linux user
3) go to kmenu/configuration/networking/samba (this starts swat)
4) create a password for the myWinUser (samba user)
-click on "passwords" button
-for username, type "myWinUser"
-for "password", enter "12345" (the same password that myWinUser uses on
windows)
-click "add new user button"
i believe that this should work.
also try posting your samba questions to the samba mailing list:
http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
