Newbie: Need desperate Help

[The Archimage]

Howdy -

First off, don't use spaces in the netBIOS name or the domain/workgroup
name.  It can create flakey results.  Samba will automatically assign
the hostname as the netBIOS name unless you tell it otherwise, with the
netBIOS Name option.  In most cases, you don't need to set a netBIOS
name.

Second, using security=user is fine.  I also recommend you use
encreypted passwords, as well.  It's kind of a pain, because you have to
create a Samba account on the Solaris host for each Unix user, then set
the Samba password.  It can be time-consuming, but you only have to do
it once, and you can scriptify it pretty easily.

Any other questions, post away!  >g<
