Previous post continued Jerome: I was never able to get "security = user" to work, so, along the way, you should occasionally switch that back to "security = share" to see if you can get connected. After that, you can work on getting "security = user" to work as a separate task. The difference is that you should get a prompt for a user id and password with "security = share" (based on SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 hours). One thing I notice is that you are using --
username map = /etc/samba/smbusers, which contains, on my machine --
root = administrator admin ;nobody = guest pcguest smbguest Linux: /etc/samba
I'm using
username map = /etc/samba/user.map, which has one line in it --
nobody=*
I'm guessing that that line says "map any user that comes in to nobody".

Greg, Please trim your replies. Remember that there are members of this list that are on metered dialup. You could have replied to your previous message and deleted 90% of it to add this one line. Also, when you forward a message instead of replying you break the message thread that many list members use.
Have you run "testparm" to test your parameter file?
