Hi, I've setup FC6 with webmin and samba. I had someone helping me with
this but they aren't available right now (on the road).
We have setup a few folders for sharing and some users in linux. In
webmin I had previously migrated unix users to samba but I can't seem to
connect to the shares.
When I do so, it prompts for a username and password but non of the
passwords are valid so maybe when I migrated the unix users it didn't do
the passwords?
My brother says I should change the samba passwords using man smbpasswd
but I'm not very familiar with this so I need a little bit of hand
holding?
Whats the exact syntax to change a users password
man smbpasswd username password?
Thanks
Rob, I'm assuming that you are using the Graphical User Interface and not
just the command line, yes?
If you installed samba, you should be able to configure it using the
provided GUI administration tool, probably accessed by clicking "System-
Administration->Samba". Then you will have to use that tool to 'add'users to samba, as I believe that the regular user account passwords do
not simply 'transfer over'. It's under the "Preferences -> Samba Users"
menu. Here you can add the users, and this should allow each user you add
to access the shares under the circumstances you specify, ie, user name
and 'samba password'. You may have to restart Samba, I forget.
If you're not using the GUI tool, google 'smbpasswd' or try 'man
smbpasswd' and follow those instructions to add users.
