Run 'smbpasswd -a <user>' as root, where <user> is replaced with an existing unix account (ie with 'useradd <user>') which matches the username the user uses on windows. > > BUT, The odd thing that is the issue of this mail is, that when I browse = > on the Linux box to see the files on the Windows PC, I can see the = > shares, folders and files, but in all filenames and foldernames the = > first letter is missing! > Please run MandrakeUpdate. This, and many other issues (including security vulnerabilities in other software) will be fixed.
