If you do not have a samba password or the file etc/samba/smbusers does not have your user name it will not work. Mine says just rick = rick
There are two steps to creating a user. First we’ll run the smbpasswd utility to create a samba password for the user. sudo smbpasswd -a <username> Next, we’ll add that username to the smbusers file. sudo gedit /etc/samba/smbusers Add in the following line, substituting the username with the one you want to give access to. The format is <ubuntuusername> = “<samba username>”. You can use a different samba user name to map to an ubuntu account, but that’s not really necessary right now. <username> = “<username>” -- [lucid] Nautilus asks password when accessing workgroup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/490201 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
