First you need to figure out how to get XP home to join a domain. A quick Google search suggests that there may be a way, but I don't know what it is. Then, look at chapter 2 of "Samba by Example" ( http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/small.html or download the PDF - http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf ) That is basically what you are asking for.

As it is now, there is only local authentication for each machine on the LAN (no Windows Domain here, only a workgroup) -- so if a user wants to be able to use a computer other than what they normally use, an account needs to be created for that user on the new machine, and then they will be able to access their Samba share. I want to allow any user to login to any machine, and be able to access their Samba share. Any suggestions?
