Have you got any entries in your: smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd If not, you need to add them (unix accounts must already exist) with 'smbpasswd -a' If you are joining winnt/win2k/winxp machine to your domain, you must uncomment this line: # add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -g smbusers -d /dev/null -s /bin/False %u (yes, it gets used for machine accounts on a domain controller), and have added an smbpasswd for the root account (by running 'smbpasswd -a' as root). Also, your: NET USE I: /home doesn't belong in your smb.conf Please check the smb.conf man page for this one also: map to guest = sambauser (IIRC it should be on of 'bad user', 'bad password' or 'never'). You may be looking for the 'guest account parameter instead ... Also, it would help if you told us what steps you have followed prior to this, as not everything can be determined from your configuration file. How are you joining machines to the domain?
