do the following:
 
#smbpasswd -a <username>  # to add a user to the smb database

Subject: [plug] linux samba file server
 

hi i have a linux box and i wanna set it up as a file server.  i want my server to ask for a password when ever the clients(win98) connect to it. 

i did everything read the manuals, but whenever the clients connect to the server it asks for a password but they cant log in!!!

can anybody help me with the smb.conf file?  i tried everything!!

here's the conf file i started with:

[global]

            workgroup = RMCDOM

            security = user

            smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd

[homes]

            comment Unix home directory space

            path = %H

            writeable = yes

            valid users = %S

            create mode = 0600

            directory mode = 0700

            locking = no
