Hi Yasir, You are correct that user names should not start with a number. Fortunately Samba allows you to map SMB names to local user names. You were on the right track with smbadduser except that the local name has to come first. smbadduser My_name:14200 also make sure this line is uncommented in your smb.conf file: username map = /etc/samba/smbusers This tells Samba to use the mappings found in the smbusers file which looks like this: Cheers, Sean -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
