Hi, i am using the samba configuration wizard to set up samba. I have a few questions. It gives the message :

"you have selected to allow user access their home directories via samba but you/they must use smbpasswd to set a password."

How do i do this. Is it you put it in the smbpasswd file and if it is what is the syntax to do so?

The other message says:
"Type users or group seperated by a comma (groups must be preceded by a '@') "
and then asks for a read and write list, No matter what i put in it won't accept it. What is sobosed to go in here?

Thanks for any help.

I'm having this problem too. The NEXT button won't let you go anywhere, no matter what you type. I've tried every combo of read/write on different users & groups, but to no avail.

I'm interested to see a reply to this thread...

As root type:
where "user" is your user name
You will then be promted for a samba password.
that sets up a Samba user.
