SAMBA NEWBIE ?

[Ernie Schroder]

Herb,
	I had valid users = ernie, jo in the shares section and removed the comma.
I still get a window asking for a password to access \\LOCALROAST\IPC$, at 
the Win98 machine the password I created for user jo doesn't work nor does 
the password for user ernie. If I log onto the windows box as ernie I have 
access to the share.
samba.conf follows:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from localroast.localdomain (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2002/01/02 21:54:32

# Global parameters
[global]
	netbios name = LOCALROAST
	server string = Samba Server
	encrypt passwords = Yes
	log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
	max log size = 0
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
	dns proxy = No
	hosts allow = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.
	printing = lprng

[homes]
	comment = home directories
	valid users = ernie jo
	read only = No
	create mask = 0664
	directory mask = 0775

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	printable = Yes
	browseable = No

[ernie]
	comment = /home/ernie
	path = /tmp
	read only = No
	guest ok = Yes
	valid users = ernie jo
Thanks again, Ernie
