The Linux guest that I used trying to access host is Elive 0.4.2.
For a Linux guest you need to add the user and a password to the smbpasswd file. man smbpasswd: " -a This option specifies that the username following should be added to the local smbpasswd file, with the new password typed (type <Enter> for the old password). This option is ignored if the username following already exists in the smbpasswd file and it is treated like a regular change password command. Note that the default passdb backends require the user to already exist in the system password file (usually/etc/passwd), else the request to add the user will fail. This option is only available when running smbpasswd as root." -- Greg Madden -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
