Connecting from OSX to SUSE 10 for file sharing
I'm having some trouble connecting an OSX machine to a new install of SUSE 10. I've configured the samba server (and then the NFS server). When attempting to connect, I get OSX's authentication dialog and it sees the server with the workgroup as 'TUX-NET' (I took the default name when configuring the linux box). I then enter the username and password, but get rejected with "Could not connect to the server because the name or password is not correct". Thus, I figured it would be that the user I am trying to connect with does not have access to do so, but I see that the group 'users' is enabled under the Samba Config. Also, the firewall port is opened for Samba. Am I missing something obvious here? Mike

On SUSE 10, did you also add the users as root with 'smbpasswd -a username' (without the quotes)? Stan
