Michael, You need to set up your "root" user account in Samba. Enter the following command:
Smbpasswd -a root You will be prompted to enter the root password and retype to verify as follows: New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Added user root. I would recommend that you adduser to your linux router then add the same users to samba with smbpasswd -a instead of using the root account for normal file access. Your call. In my experience, I use root account only when adding machines to my domain controller.

On my Win2000 box I can see the router but when I try to get in and access the shared files it asks for a password I don't know what it is I never set that up. What password does it come with by default? I ran the command smbpasswd and get the following msg Failed to find entry for user Root Failed to modify password entry for user Root Can anyone pleas help? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
