I think it might get some more response if you cleared things up (I
know I'm a bit confused by what you're looking for, not sure that I'd
be able to give any real answers)..
is the server side your linux machine? are you comfortable with
command line from the linux side?
I'd try (as root on the linux machine) smbpasswd -a 'your_regular_user_name'
and edit /etc/samba/smb.conf to resemble :
[global]
workgroup = sambashares
server string = sambabox
hosts allow = 10.0.0. 127.
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
guest account = nobody
security = user
password level = 8
username level = 8
remote announce = 10.0.0.0.255 #*
remote browse sync = 10.0.0.255 #*
local master = Yes
interfaces = 10.0.0.9/24#*
preferred master = Yes
wins support = yes
dns proxy = yes
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = Yes
add machine script = /usr/sbin/useradd -c Machine -d
/var/lib/nobody -s /bin/false %m$
domain logons = Yes
domain master = Yes
netbios name = sambaserver
os level = 65
passdb backend = smbpasswd:/etc/samba/smbpasswd
[video]
comment = video files
path = /srv/video #*
write list = your_id
browsable = yes
valid users = your_id
#* - lines that will be different depending on your local network config.
and in this example, I think your MS side would be able to connect to
\\10.0.0.9\video
with the username/pass you setup earlier.

Hi folks,
Maybe someone knows how to set a password and/or username, or how to disable the darn thing, to get access to the smb-shares from my own pc to my own pc, or from MS- Machines from within the lan? I am using the below os and kde version.
Are the shares password-protected? If so, disable password protection (in other words, enable guest access). If not, a combination of KDE4/samba some weeks ago would display spurious password prompts when accessing smb shares. Upgrading solved this for me.
tia 4 a useble answer..
Hope this helps, Peter
The shares are in no way protected, music, video's, pictures etc. I checked all the possibilities, at first there was nothing visible, even not able to become member of the workgroup in question. There is no way to set a password that actualy gives clearance.. systemsettings > network & connectivity > sharing, gives a way to set a password, but that does react as expected. Even passwordsettings via swat donot work.
I will upgrade and see if it solves the issue.. thx 4 responding ;-)
