Rowland,
Here is what I have done so far. Users marty and owner exit with the same
password on the Linux and Windows systems. The same are in the smbuseres
file with the same passwords. Both users have access permissions to the
shares in samba. I added all three ip addresses to the /etc/hosts file. Now
when I browse the network all I see is windows network. When I try to open
it (Linx) I get the following error "Unable to access location - Failure to
retrieve share list from server - No such file or directory". If I try to
connect to a server using the "Connect to Server" option by smb://<IP>, I
get the same result.
There is a file /etc/host.allow that lists the servers that can access the
system. There is nothing in it now.
Before my changes I could at least access the Windows PC from a Linux but
now I cannot get anything.
I'll have to research the PDC or an AD DC. I don't know what they are.
Again thanks for your continued help.
Marty

How did you create the users on the Linux machines ?

Yes.

Is 'marty' in /etc/passwd on the Linux machines ?

No, the user that connects in a workgroup has to exist on EVERY machine in
the workgroup with the SAME password!!
I used to look after a workgroup that had approx 14 machines and 20 users,
it was a pain, it also used VPN connections from 3 locations and if anybody
new started, I had to connect to each location that the new user was likely
to connect to and add them to the machines there.
Could I introduce you to the possibility of using a PDC or even better an AD
DC, either would be better than a workgroup, hell, anything would be better
than a workgroup ;-)
