Thanks for the help. One thing that isn't clear from what I read on the Net, is whether it is required to create a user in Samba or if an entry in /etc/passwd is enough to grant access: Several documents use the "nobody" account which is already part of /etc/passwd by default, so I didn't originally think it necessary to also add that username in Samba.
1. But then, I suspected the former, and ran "useradd samba" followed by "smbpasswd -a samba" with a password: <code> # smbpasswd -a samba New SMB password: blah Retype new SMB password: blah </code> 2. However, I notice that "pdbedit" is 1) missing data for "NT username", and 2) uses the Netbios name for the Domain instead of the Workgroup name I chose: smb.conf <code> [global] workgroup = WORKGROUP netbios name = LINUX encrypt passwords = yes ;wins support = yes log level = 2 ;max log size = 1000 ;guest account = nobody guest account = samba map to guest = Bad User ;REQUIRES ADDING USERS TO SAMBA THROUGH smbpasswd? security = user ;DEPRECATED BUT REQUIRED WHEN USING nobody? ;security = share ;DEPRECATED ;null passwords = yes [test] path = /tmp browsable = yes read only = yes guest ok = yes only guest = yes public = yes available = yes ;force user = nobody force user = samba </code> pdbedit -L -v <code> Unix username: samba NT username: Account Flags: [U ] User SID: S-1-5-21-3543732248-827301621-1011492160-501 Primary Group SID: S-1-5-21-3543732248-827301621-1011492160-513 Full Name: Home Directory: HomeDir Drive: (null) Logon Script: Profile Path: Domain: LINUX </code> 3. Finally, when running "net view" from a Windows 7 host, Samba still doesn't 1) force usernames to "samba" and 2) grant access: <code> [2013/10/09 16:13:41.458888, 2] smbd/reply.c:553(reply_special) netbios connect: name1=LINUX 0x20 name2=FRED-PC 0x0 [2013/10/09 16:13:41.460377, 2] smbd/reply.c:573(reply_special) netbios connect: local=linux remote=fred-pc, name type = 0 [2013/10/09 16:13:41.465734, 2] smbd/sesssetup.c:1279(setup_new_vc_session) setup_new_vc_session: New VC == 0, if NT4.x compatible we would close all old resources.
