XP --> Linux with Samba

Hi,

I'm trying to get my XP Pro computers to see Samba shares on a SuSE 10.0
box. On the windows side, I'm using a workgroup, not a domain. I've been
going through resources on the Web, but I still can't seem to accomplish it.

I have accounts the same username/password combo on both machines. When
going into Network Neighborhood on the XP box, the Linux machine is visible.
However, when I try to access it, I get a message saying that I don't have
permission. I've never had probems browsing Windows shares from the Linux
box.

Here's my smb.conf:

# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
# Date: 2005-09-13

[global]
workgroup = THOMENET
printing = cups
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d /var/lib/nobody -s
/bin/false %m$
domain logons = No
domain master = No
security = user

[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S
browseable = No
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700

[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/

[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes

[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No

[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775

## Share disabled by YaST
# [netlogon]


What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,
Mike

the line "security = user" in your smb.conf file requires you to the have
an account setup on the linux box for each user that wants to have access.

you could use "security = share" if security isn't an issue, or just create an account for this user on the linux box.

see "man smb.conf" for more information.

good luck

have you added the user to the smbpasswd list?


smbpasswd -a ( username name here )

Thanks for responding. I found the problem. Although I had the same
user/pass combo on both boxes, I had neglected to add the user to smbpasswd.
All is now well!
