Although my samba server is not online now, I'm pretty sure the correct syntax is: smbuseradd (or smbadduser) username:username Pls don't forget that on Windows 98 a password is the only requirement to create a share, whereas SMB requires a user/pass authetication via PAM, and therefore, you need to enter the username and password at the pre-windows stage on your windoz machine (i.e., on the Welcome to Microsnorf Networking screen) otherwise you'll always get the password prompt. Or switch to NT 4/Win2000. Don't blame me if you do that... :) Cheers, --------------------------------------- Miki Lewinger - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Computer Systems Enginneer Life Sciences dept Office Phone: 6461358 (int. 8358) ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
