My wife and I each have our own workstation dual-booting WinXP and
Gentoo Linux. We also have a third which runs Gentoo all the time. I
wanted to set up samba on the third box and provide some extra storage
space for both our Windows installs. It worked for a few days, then all
of a sudden it stopped letting my account (michael) in while still
letting my wife's account (amy) use the share. Here's
my /etc/samba/smb.conf:
carter samba # cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = MYGROUP
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
guest account = guest
wins support = yes
local master = yes
os level = 99
domain master = yes
preferred master = yes
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
interfaces = eth0
log level = 1
[tmp]
path=/tmp
writeable=yes
[homes]
path=/samba/michael
valid users=michael
writable=yes
path=/samba/amy
valid users=amy
writeable=yes
Here's smbusers:carter samba # cat /etc/samba/smbusers

Please help me out. This makes no sense to me why it works for amy, but
not for michael.
