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
