What's the easiest way to set up a basic share of some folder (home for example) with or without login verification. I've installed the samba server package and the Windows machine sees my shares fine. However, it can't access them. I've tried setting up an account in samba, but when I try, stderr receives a "cannot change password" message and although in the GUI it appears to be fine, the user/pwd are still not accepted.

Could you post your smb.conf file? It is in /etc/samba.HP Pavilion dv6 core i7 (Main)

Re: Basic sharing server for Windows clients / Samba
don't forget to add samba users
then enter the password you would like to use to authenticate for the shares (it is allowed to differ from your normal user password)Code:smbpasswd -a yourusername

Re: Basic sharing server for Windows clients / Samba
Thanks! That did it. As I mentioned before, adding samba users through the GUI didn't seem to produce anything even though it was running as root so I assumed the problem was deeper.Originally posted by JohanLingenComment
