Samba server

[flandercan]

I have a samba server, running, i have the users setup on the system with identical logins (username & password) to their windows systems, unless i set the option for a password server in the smb.conf file the users are prompted with a login box, i have enterd every password inc root into this login box but can not get through. If i set the password server option to go to my PDC, the logon is seemles,

My question,

Is there a way to tell the samba server that it is the password server. I have tried using

password server = sambaserver
security = server

however this does not work at all

thanks
Paul

Hi m8

From my understanding of the problem-which could be wrong?

it sounds like you have created a user and then made a password with

passwd (username)

When using samba you need to add an extra password for windows to use which is created with:

smbpasswd -a (username)

smbpasswd -x (username), deletes it.

well i hoped that helped? ;D
