Next message: Beach, Ken: "RE: [LUNI] Samba Configuration"
Before you can access a drive share, you will need to add the user the
smbpasswd file. (in your case it appears to be located in /etc).
use:
smbpasswd -a username
That should set up the Samba account. The user also needs to have a regular
account on the system (/etc/passwd)
Cheers,
Ken
