[Samba] can't log into Samba.

[maraqas]

Hope this can help:

edit your smb.conf file (should be in /etc/smb.conf or /etc/samba/smb.conf)
add this line (i put it just before the guest account setup section
"#Uncomment this if you want a guest account..."):

add user script = /usr/sbin/useradd -d /dev/null -g 100 -s /bin/false -M %u

this should create an automatic machine logon. Please verify this suggestion
before using it!!!

Anyway i'm sending you a smb.conf example.

If you decide to directly substitute your smb.conf with this one, remember
to make
a backup copy of the original smb.conf!

maq

# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command "testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.

# DNS or NIS depending on the settings of /etc/host.config, /etc/nsswitch.conf
# and the /etc/resolv.conf file. "host" therefore is system configuration
# dependant. This parameter is most often of use to prevent DNS lookups
# in order to resolve NetBIOS names to IP Addresses. Use with care!

# on the local network segment
# - OR - are not deliberately to be known via lmhosts or via WINS.
