No, but I finally found the issue: I was using an older version of the OS
instead of checking if a new version was available :-/ The latest worked
right away after downloading and activating the Samba module. I should have
checked that, first thing.
Then, all I needed to share files with any user
Thanks but still no go :-/
At this point, I can see the server (Looks like netbios name is required,
while I assumed its absence would have Samba use the Unix hostname), but
when I use c:\net view \\linux, I get the familiar error 5 Access
denied. Samba still seems to not ignore the Windows

After editing smb.conf, I always run /etc/rc.d/rc.samba restart.
The host isn't running a firewall, and the error message mentions /tmp
instead of /plans, so chmod 777 /plans did nothing: chdir (/tmp)
failed, reason: Permission denied
I don't know if it means anything, but the host is running

A bit of progress:
1. security = user : doesn't switch from fred to nobody, so it can't
work since the user isn't mapped to nobody.
2. security = share : switches from fred to nobody, but Access Denied:

One thing that isn't clear from what I read on the Net, is whether it is
required to create a user in Samba or if an entry in /etc/passwd is enough
to grant access: Several documents use the nobody account which is already

Thanks for the tip.
However, I read that /etc/passwd only contains hashes and not the actual
passwords, which is why Samba requires adding users to its own database.
Could you share your smb.conf so I see what it looks like when only relying
on entries from /etc/passwd and not prompting Windows

The nobody account was available by default in /etc/passwd. This is for a
home setup, and don't have a Windows7 to test.
Some feedback:
1. After adding security = user to the [global] section, killing and
restarting smbd/nmbd, XP still returns System error 1326 Logon
By editing log level to 2, log.smbd nows says Authentication for user

It looks like you've done what the page says. If that is the case, then
you will have to look for some other oddity.

Does the unix level nobody account exist?
Does it work with Win 7 clients?
