help!....im really confused, ...
i created the user "Stealth" on my Linux redhat 7.3 machine and when i 
configure my smb.conf file, for path = /home/Stealth, the machine would show 
up in "Computers Near Me" on my other windoez 2000 machine, but would not 
accept any passwords to the [share], when i run smbpasswd -a Stealth i get 
this.........

getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (uid not number)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no :)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no :)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no :)
getsmbfilepwent: malformed password entry (no :)
add_smbfilepwd_entry: unable to open file.
Failed to add entry for user Stealth.
Failed to modify password entry for user Stealth

also wheni try and mount a share it reports this........

[root at Nooblesse root]# mount -t smbfs //TBIRD/Programs /mnt/program_files/
