Your comment about the smbpasswd file got me thinking so I deleted the user 'ian' and re-created him using 'smbpasswd -x ian' and 'smbpasswd -a ian <password>' and next time i tried to view the share it worked a treat - didn't even prompt for a password - just used the default windows one. I had originally created the user 'ian' using a samba-webmin module before moving over to cmd-line tools and neglected to delete and re-create the user. I can only assume that I had set some option wrong when using webmin hence your observation of the unusual character.
Many thanks for your help - I certainly couldn't have got round this problem without it.
Ian
P.S. I deciced to reset requiresignorseal to '1' and reboot - I was still able to successfully access the share.

ok so you matched the uid entries to your /etc/passwd entries. was there really an 'N' in your snip of smbpasswd? i've not seen that before.
the share you're trying to view....what does it's stanza look like? and what is the error message you receive?

I have just turned of requiresignorseal and it has not made any difference. The relevant parts of my smbpasswd:

when you say you tried them both, could you be more specific, I have now idea what you typed and no idea what your smbpasswd entries look like.
also did you turn off requiresignorseal in regedit? there's a reg file with the 2.2.8a distro.
you're obviously not joined to the domain; is this what you are trying to achieve? or do you simply want to see a share? the former being athentication against a DC...

Thanks for your reply
I tried both of these to no avail - nothing is recorded in the logs either.

try:
smbpasswd -a -m SHUTTLE$ shuttle$
to add the machine acount
also did you add a user to smbpasswd with
smbpasswd -a userid userpassword
after you created their unix acount?

Okay - I've tried adding machine account as suggested but still no joy - same symptoms as before. Also tried changing security to 'share' - this time I can see the share in windows explorer but it asks for a password under the username of 'Guest' (greyed out) when i try to access it - no passwords work (including null).

Make sure the XP box has a machine account on the samba server.
do this by adding a user (however you do it on your host OS) of machine$ (make sure the dollar sign is there)
then you can add this account to samba by doing:
smbpasswd -a -m machine
(note the _lack_ of a dollar sign. you know this, but replace "machine" with the actual name of the machine.)

Hi, I am trying to set up my internet connection sharing linux box as a stand-alone samba server. When i try to access the server from a Windows XP Pro client using \\192.168.0.1 i get a dialog box asking for a username and password. I duly enter this and the dialog box immediately re-appears without connecting me to the share. There exists both a samba and linux account with the same password which is also the same as the XP Pro logon.
The XP Pro box is not set up to logon to a domain, both of the boxes are on the same workgroup. I can get samba to work using share-level security but only for a guest account.
Would appreciate any suggestions
