Alright, I have made a simple smb.conf file as follows. ####################################### [global] # Server configuration paramaters netbios name = LINUXBOX server string = Samba %v on (%L) workgroup = SANDSTORM encrypt passwords = yes
[data] path = /export/samba/data comment = Data Drive volume = Sample-drive guest ok = yes [test] comment = TEsting path = /export/samba/test read only = no guest ok = yes #################################### and an smbclient -U% -L localhost returns the following: ###################################### Linuxbox:/home/brent# smbclient -U% -L localhost Domain=[SANDSTORM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a-Debian] Sharename Type Comment --------- ---- ------- data Disk Data Drive test Disk TEsting IPC$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.14a-Debian on (linuxbox)) ADMIN$ IPC IPC Service (Samba 3.0.14a-Debian on (linuxbox)) lp Printer Generic dot-matrix printer entry Domain=[SANDSTORM] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.14a-Debian] Server Comment --------- ------- BLACKBOX Black Computer LINUXBOX Samba 3.0.14a-Debian Workgroup Master --------- ------- SANDSTORM BLACKBOX ########################################### I can see LINUXBOX on the XP machine. When I double click on "Linuxbox" on the XP machine it prompts me for a username and password. I fill in the appropriate username and password hit enter, and it prompts me again for the username and password except that in username it has BLACKBOX\brent filled in (Blackbox is the name of the XP machine and "brent" is the username). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
