[QUOTE="xstep, post: 245789, member: 11647"] You learn how Samba works. Sorry. I did manage to get it working on one of my servers once after a lot reading and trial & error. I did this for a MS Windows box. Everything else I use is NFS. I'm definitely no expert on this subject. From what I see in my smb.conf file, I have a global area defining the workgroup, security level of user, where to find the password file, and to use encrypted passwords. I also have two groups which are the remote view names with a path in one case, I think. The one with the path shows up in MS Windows. In the password file I have a username that matches my common username on all my systems, and the 501 UID entry that matches the UID on the server for that user. You might also require an entry in the hosts file for the client. I not sure. Beyond this, I'm not much help. This is one of those subjects you have to learn by doing. [/QUOTE]
