If it's not too much trouble could you tell me what steps I must take.... basically your're saying first i must create a trust account AND a normal user account?
What are the commands to do this? i am very confused with smbpasswd because I find when doing smbpasswd -a sean it does not append the $ to the end, but when i first add the account it does so automatically. thank you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean-Paul ARGUDO" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Sean Chambers" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, December 12, 2002 10:24 AM Subject: Re: [Samba] Problem with smbclient and domain logon > Sean Chambers wrote: > > also, in win2k when i open the run window and type : \\FILESERVER\ > > <file://\\FILESERVER\> > > it opens a username/password box, if i put in sean and the password it > > pops the box right up again.
