Check out the following:
i have just installed latest samba on SuSE Linux 7.1 . and tried to create share for windows by editing smb.conf. now i can see the share but can not access it from windows..it asks me for some password & before that it wasn't allowing me to create/paste any file in the share.
1. Your objective is to set up a Linux file and print server for Win98 clients.
2. Configure smb.conf with text editor or through SWAT. [security = user] should be set among other things.
3. Add user to unix.
4. Add same user to SAMBA [smbpasswd -a username]. Easier to do through SWAT [add, delete, enable, disable, change password].
5. Create share in Samba and set the access rights. Unix rights settings will always override Samba settings. So if you want to handle access through Samba set unix rights to rwxrwxrwx. Now set up Samba access rights which mimic NT ACL.
That should get you going.
I have a setup which uses a mixture of Unix & Samba access control to cater to different requirements. Basically, unix controls by groups while Samba can do so by gourps as well as on a user basis.
