Gidday Mithrilhall Sorry, I could have given more detail. Samba can have it's own password and user list as well Webmin is a https web browser based administration program which you can use from a win pc To use it point a web browser at https://"your_server_ip_address":10000 If it's not installed you'll have to do this (I'm a newbie as well) you'll need ssh (secure shell? hence the s in https) as well. If it's installed choose the "Servers tab" and pick "Samba". From there make sure you choose the option to convert unix users to samba users and the option to keep them in sync. (Can't remember exactly the way they've put it) Have a good look around and play but before you do make a backup of the samba conf files, they're somewhere in /etc. Don't forget to scroll down and hit the "restart samba" button each time you use it or no changes will occur. All this is a bit vague I know but it's all from memory.
