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.
Why would you put user names in the smb.conf file?
Use encrypted passwords, then using the smbpasswd command to create entries in the smb.passwd file.
smbpasswd -a username
The -a option tells smbpasswd that the user is in the system /etc/passwd file. You will still need to type the password.
