Are we talking about windows clients or samba clients? You can test your
config with smbclient -L netbiosname. if you can get a browse list then the
client should be configured right. If you can't get a browse list you
probably haven't added the user names to the smbpasswd file. Do that with
"smbadduser username". Then tell samba how the samba usernames relate to
unix usernames. in smbusers you want to list the
unix name then samba/windows name like so:
#/etc/smbusers
root = administrator admin rootDude (you can list more than one alias)
bsmith = billsmith
If you are using the default encrypt password (yes) and case settings you
sould be set. If not, post them and we'll help. If in doubt about password
case settings (there are several variables that can hose this) just comment
them out and accept the defaults which are right for everything after
windows for workgroups 3.11.

Hi everyone.
How do I look at w98 clients whilst I'm sitting at the server? eg a client at machine1.local. smbmount asks me for a password which it tells me is wrong even if I'm guest.
Sorry to try again but we can't get it right still.
Thanks, Steve.
