also, in win2k when i open the run window and type : \\FILESERVER\ <file://\\FILESERVER\>AFAIK, you have to create machine trust accounts in order to allow them to access your Samba PDC with a W2K workstation. After this, you create user accounts too.
it opens a username/password box, if i put in sean and the password it pops the box right up again. In the samba.log file it says something to the effect of:
Couldn't find user 'sean' in passdb
There it is machinename$ to be used, not user$ :-)
Remember to add -d /dev/null and -s /bin/false to useradd command when creating Machine Trust Account. Also do a passwd -l "machinename$".
Then a smbpasswd -a -m "machinename$".
I can be more precise with a detailed example if you wish, but:
This is all very well explained in "Sam's teach yourself samba in 24 hours", chapter 22, surely the best samba book I ever bought. ;-)
