getting access denied when trying to access samba shares

English Network/Internet
#1

I put in \Sambaservername and i can see all the shares perfectly.
but when I try to connect from my windows pc to users i get you might not have permission to the network resource. if i click on profiles i get a user login and it won’t take Administrator and my root password or root and my user password. I tried associating user names i created in linux in smbusers with accounts that exist on my pc. But when i try tor smbpasswd username it tells me that they don’t exist.

This is so frustrating I just want my Samba server to work.

It looks like you need to add Samba Users. On the linux machine open a terminal
window. su to root and add Samba users with the command:

smbpasswd -a <username>

username must be a valid linux user but the password need not be the same as the
login password.

To make Samba a PDC on a NT style domain, add the following two parameters
to /etc/samba/smb.conf:

domain logons = yes
domain master = yes

Also; the following three parameters should be set:

local master = Yes
os level = 65
preferred master = Yes

However; to make it fully functional you will need to do more configuration.
I would recommend that you look at “The Official Samba-3 Howto”:
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf, (If not here, you need to add
the samba docs with Yast). In particular read 2.3.3. You may also want to
read the first few chapters of “Samba-3 by example” found in the same
directory. Although written for SLES, this is a good online HowTo:
http://www.pcc-services.com/sles/samba.html
There is not that much difference between OpenSuse and SLES as far as Samba
goes.
