Samba uses a different back end account/password database. You need to create password entries for your users using the "smbpasswd" command. As root run "smbpasswd -a root" and set a password for the root account. You can then access the smb shares from Windows using this password. Note that the smbpasswd and the regular unix account password can be different, smb password is used only for accessing shares through samba. Some suggestions: 1. Linux File System Heirarchy Standard does not recommend sharing /usr/local with Windows systems. Read the docs on how to do this the correct way. 2. Don't use the root account in samba. Suggest that you create separate samba users. > What I need to do now? I think, I am missing some steps here. By the way, I > have installed samba in Debian box. What do you suggest me to do?
