Thanks, but I am still having the same problem -- I made sure to reference the correct passwd file, but WinXP is still forcing me to logon as AGAMEMNON\Guest.

I suggest that you put following lines in your smb.conf encrypt password = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd passwd program = /bin/passwd %u CAUTION: The above paths to the smbpasswd and passwd file are related to my system. They differ from distribution to distribution. So on your Linux system the paths may be different. you may determine the path to those files by find / -name smbpasswd and find / -name passwd Now make sure that you have on your Linux system the users who shall have access to teh SAMBA Shares. I think in your case they are: tim AND chrissy Now, since you are using security=share, so no LDAP server, you need to add these users to your smbpasswd, due it is used for authentification. This shall be done by calling smbpasswd -a user_name so smbpasswd -a tim and smbpasswd -a chrissy you will be promted for a password when adding the user. Give the same password as the unix password for those users. BTW: You shall be the root-user to perform the above said. Now RESTART your smbd and nmbd deamons and verify that they are running: ps -ef|grep smbd and ps -ef|grep nmbd Well, then try to access the FIRST your home directories, from Windows. You may also shall consider to set security=user. In this case you do not need to specify valid users for shares. Hope this helps.
