Failed to add entry for user (SAMBA) help please?
 

I have tried over and over so i'm sure its not just incompatible passwords...

How do I fix this?

Thanks,

Are you sure there is a corresponding Linux user named "floor"?

As it turns out, I was not, I have successfully added an account and restarted samba but I still cannot connect using the new user. My original user info works fine. What to do?

here is my smb.conf entry for what i'm trying to share.Note it does allow access to me on my original user account, but not on users i'm setting up.

With Samba, Linux file permissions also apply. If the user does not have rights to the shared Samba directory under Linux, then they can't access the Samba File Share either.

If the device is chmod to 777 does the user have access? (B/C that doesn't seem to be working). As in, how do I give the new user access to the shared directory only?

Thanks,
MJ
