I read chapters 1, 2 & 3 fairly thoroughly, and I'm going through 12 (troubleshooting) now. ---------------------------------------------- I think your reading the wrong guide, try this one and this has traversed on long enough. Almost Two weeks now. Below included is also a work (BASIC) Configuration file to get you going. Then you will need to go on and experiment from there. This configuration below will work with a "forced user = use_name". Or change the security mode to user and create accounts on the samba server for the windows clients. Those accounts **HAVE** to mach the Window user and password logons! Please read the comented sections.
