A samba account has to be created on the server by someone with admin ( root ) authority. That is assuming the server has a samba server. If you do not have the authority, ( user ID and password ) then you need to talk to the person that does.
smbpasswd is the command to change and create a user password, if the account exists. 127.0.0.1 is the loopback IP address, the default on most systems. If the server is secured, that address may be filtered by firewall rules to block attacks. |
