You cannot log onto a Samba domain (or any type of Windows domain) from
Window XP/home. However, if you set up users on your Samba server, you
can share their home directories. When Windows tries to connect, it will
pass the current user name and password so you can access network
shares. Note that these users need to be defined in Samba for the
password checking to work.
You can try playing around with %u in the path directive for your home
directories. e.g. path = /home/%u.
Try using SWAT to do the heavy lifting on this (such as creating your
users).

Hi there,
I have my Samba, set up and running. My users are add and should be
set up
right. The problem is when I can't access my home directories from
Windows XP
Home Edition
<http://www.linuxforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179059#>.
It should give me a login box right? .. but its not. It just gives me the
error message that I don't have access to the folder.
When I manually add my home directory though in my smb.conf, then
click on
that directory from my windows box, it presents me w/ a login box.
After I
login here, then I can access my "magic" home directory.
Here is my smb.conf dump from testparm:

Is the problem just w/ XP Home or what?
Any help would be appreciated...
Thanks,
Brian
