[Samba] help needed

[Van Sickler, Jim]

I don't see a "username map=" entry...
try adding that to [Global] and put
the path & filename of your smbusers file
there (e.g. =/etc/samba/smbusers)

restart samba and try to connect.

The password you're being prompted for
is the IPC$ (guest) password, I'll bet.
If samba isn't mapping your Domain name
to a local Unix account, this will happen.
