Thank you all for all the help. [global] netbios name = Shadow1 workgroup = LANGROUP log level = 2 server string = Samba Server printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 50 security = user password level = 8 username level = 8 encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no #============= Share Definitions ===================== idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no username map = /etc/samba/smbusers security = user ; encrypt passwords = yes ; guest ok = no ; guest account = nobody [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writeable = yes printable = no [tmp] comment = Temporary file space path = /tmp read only = no ; public = yes [public] path = /TheArray writeable = yes browseable = yes ; guest ok = yes ; public = yes valid users = judith smitty printable = no Hopefully, this isn't too screwed up!
