I know this sounds a bit vague but last week I read somewhere (can't remember where) that I needed to type a line of geek speak into the command line in order to create the smbpasswd file. I did this and the file was created. I thought that was it. > With current versions, one simply > needs to run the utility smbadduser. It will prompt for the user name > and pw. Hmm, just had a stab at this. It appears to want 2 IDs separated by a ":" and then a password. I've no idea why it need 2 IDs. I took a guess and made them both the same ie. smbadduser user1:user1 and when asked password = dogslife. Needless to say, it's made no difference.

Where on the planet would I look for such a document - not having any clue you understand. Thanks for trying to help.
