Re: [newbie] Samba Login Password
Further, there are encryption issues. Make sure you read the encryption.txt file included in your samba distro. In order to get my smb login working I had to run mksmbpass on /etc/passwd to get it into the right format, then I added each user with smbpasswd, and then it worked.

Re: [newbie] Samba Login Password
Either add your usernames/passwords in samba using smbpasswd in a root terminal or else use webmin to export your linux user names to samba user names. The username/password declared to samba must also exist in the windows machine. derek On Monday 08 April 2002 9:07 pm, Brian York wrote: > I am on a windows network and have gotten samba working.

Re: [newbie] Samba Login Password
In my understanding the username and password should ideally be identical in three places. Windows, Samba and your linux login.
