I have never setup a Samba server, and the recent thread here prompted to get on this I need to migrate two XP machines from using iSCSI to Samba.
I thought the "+" preceding a username in the smb.conf file for a share definition told Samba to use the unix username? Unless I actually use swat to create and enable the user and take off the + it doesn't work.
Any ideas what swat does when you create a user through that interface?
Is there any way to simply force Samba to use locally created users in the share definition?
Thanks! jlc
You use the + operator with authentication with winbind on a windows domain. If you would like to use samba without windows authentication then you can add the user accounts with useradd with the /sbin/nologin option and then add them to samba using the smbpasswd command. Hope this helps. Bo
