I'm trying to get samba working just the way i want it and having difficulty.

What i'm after doing is having a share set up on our lan for all my personal stuff and i want this to be mapped to network drives on both my desktop (XP) and my Laptop (win2K) as at present i duplicate this data across the 2.

Both machines have different account names on windows.

I think i need to use smbusers to map these windows usernames to linux uids and have done so.. but everytime i try to connect to the $homes share it rejects usr/pass and i've tried each of the windows names plus the linux name.

I've also had to rebuild server and lost samba conf... can anyone make some suggestions as to the setting up the conf the way i want.


this is slackware 9.1 btw
