smb.conf issue

[Buchan Milne]

YOu probably need to do one of the following:
1)set "security=domain" and join the machine to the domain with
"smbpassd -j ...." (after making a machine account on the PDC)
2)set "security=user" and populate smbpasswd with "smbpasswd -a
<user_name" after makin gunix accounts
3)set "guest only = yes" on the share

It all depends what you actually want. If you want all user to connect
to intranet as guest users, and have no need for any user security, use
3.

If you want domain members to access other shares with other
permissions, user 1.
