[clug] samba password

[Leigh Finch]

Adrien,
Are you over at the uni at the moment?
I'm across the road, If you want me to come over and have a look?
And you need to specify a "netbios name"
also try "security = user" in the smb.conf, run a "testparm", "smbclient -L
127.0.0.1 -U adrien"

Cheers
Leigh
