samba passwds



Although my samba server is not online now, I'm pretty sure the correct
syntax is:

smbuseradd (or smbadduser) username:username

Pls don't forget that on Windows 98 a password is the only requirement to
create a share, whereas SMB requires a user/pass authetication via PAM,
and therefore, you need to enter the username and password at the
pre-windows stage on your windoz machine (i.e., on the Welcome to
Microsnorf Networking screen) otherwise you'll always get the password
prompt. Or switch to NT 4/Win2000. Don't blame me if you do that... :)

Cheers,
