Cannot change permissions with WinXP on Samba


Hi,
I installed RH 7.3, XFS and Samba. I want to change permissions (which are the same as at ntfs) at some directories and files from my WinXP-computer. Changing permissions on an existing user works, but I cannot add any further users in the permission-list. I tried it by typing in \\computername\user, user, ..... and used the search-tool in XP, but I do not find any users.

Where do Samba/WinXP looks for the users? Do I have to add any options in the smb.conf?

I would be very happy if anyone has a idea what I could try.

Ciao, Hannes

you might have to add the users within samba... use SWAT, from the XP box... it's not as elegant as XP's admin tools, but may be far less *labyrinthic* (is that a word? or just another cromulent word?)
