Hi,

I am running SUSE Pro 9.1. YaST has helped alot in the setting up of SAMBA. When I try to logon to my samba domain: SUSEDOM, I get the USERID/PASSWORD window. But when I key in the root & password I get a message "Access denied".

Please advise on what I am doing wrong or what I have not yet done. My smb.conf file:

#Start of smb.conf
[global]
workgroup = SUSEDOM
interfaces = 127.0.0.1 eth0
bind interfaces only = true
printing = cups

PS: I had this post on another thread, but there's been no reply for over a week.

it may or may not be a help.

Check for extra spaces. When I try and map in XP for some reason I get the access denied if I accidently put a space behind the directory. Found this one when I did a copy and paste for the path.
