  Couldn't find user samba

Usually I would've though that this would only happen when you connect
as a guest - there's a 'map to guest' option that lets you change the
user Samba uses, I usually set it to 'nobody'.

As an alternative you could just create the Samba user, but rather than
choosing a difficult password just make it so the user can't log in,
like the user 'nobody'.


If your adding a new user, why not  (as root):

(1) useradd username
(2) passwd username
(type the password)
(3) smbpasswd -a username
(type same password)

If you already have the unix account for the user, just do step (3) above, then samba will be happy. Also, if you use the same username/password in windows, authentication is automatic..
