    Hi Mike

    >How do I secure it so it needs a password to gain access?

    My /etc/samba/smb.conf looks like:

    [SNIP]
    # Global parameters
    [global]
            netbios name = FILE_SERVER
            server string = FILE_SERVER
            encrypt passwords = Yes
            password level = 20
            wins support = Yes

    # Home directories of users on this linux machine
    [homes]
            comment = Home Directories
            read only = No
            create mask = 0750
            browseable = No

    # Directory that everybody with a username on this linux machine can see
    [data]
            comment = Data (Global access)
            path = /home/data
            read only = No
            guest ok = Yes
    [/SNIP]

    I used the following references to get it working:
    http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/install.html#id25
    32665

    http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/samba.htm

    To add a user I simply execute:
    # useradd -d /home/mike mike
    # passwd mike
    # smbpasswd -a mike

    I also enabled SWAT by editing /etc/inetd.conf and uncommenting the entry
    for swat. Then restarting inetd by running rcinetd restart

    My setup works for Windows XP and SuSE 8.0/9.1/9.2/9.3 machines. I'm running
    Samba on SuSE 8.0 (Celeron 400 with 256MB RAM and 160GB hdd) but there
    shouldn't be too many changes.
