All clietns have Windows XP. I have added unix user to server for all clients too. My server is visible to all clients but none of them can connect to server. The error message is The user doesn't have permission or something like that. I guess that there is something wrong with samba users. I have added samba users first by using SWAT but it is just confusing and Iused sambaclient at command line to add a user and it added succesfully. I couls even connect locally to my samba server by using added samba user. I used to install FC3 and it has a great graphical tool (except SWAT) to manage samba users ans shares and also to congifure Apache in a graphical UI and both was great. I did use that and it was working perfectly but I don't know here in mndk is anything like that. Can anybody help ? If you can see the shares from XP but have permission problems you must be well on the way to a working configuration. It's possible to do all this from Webmin, but I think it is quicker and easier to manually edit the files. Open (as root) /etc/samba/smb.conf and copy the shares information to a message here. Also, give one share as an example of what you are trying to achieve - give the path to the share, and whether you want all users to read and write to it. If you only want some users to do this you will have to control access by user groups. Give us this information and someone should be able to help.
