I have been trying to configure Samba for days on our Alpha system. What we are wanting to do is store print files on our alpha and be able to view them through Word, Notepad, etc using Samba. We have an NT Domain. Every user has a domain account and an alpha account. I have been able to set up a share and see the share but I can not look or browse the files. Any suggestions to fix this problem.
I have set it up to try and authenicate through the domain but the account that trys to authenicate on the NT domain is showing up as SambaTestAlpha and I have no idea where this name is coming from. Any help here would be appreciated. I have also tried to authenticate through the Samba server but I can not get the smpasswd program to work so I can add users. I can't figure out how to create the password database. It really does not matter at this point how we authenicate or access the files... I need assistance in configuring Samba to be able to look at the files on the Alpha from a Windows 2000 or XP like a shared folder on a Windows server. The more I have read the more confused I am about doing this. We would like to be able to use the windows server security if possible but not necessary. Any assistance anyone can provide is greatly appreciated and much needed.
