Hi

At which point are you stuck at ? I guess it is adding and removing users, as this requires setting the users password.

You also need to add the same users to the system first (on mine I did anyway).

There are better tutorials than this around, for a start I'd rather leave the keyboard and monitor plugged in (with gdm enabled) until everything is working and then setup remote access.

Try these....

Take your time and you will have a fileserver is secure and never needs rebooting.

Regards

Stefan

thanks for the speedy reply!

You are right that is exactly where I am stuck. Although for reactivating the GDM I am not sure I can, for I installed the server version of Ubuntu and since it boot directly I am unsure it has some sort of graphical interface whatsoever.
