Hi quicksilver,

First of all- welcome to TechTalk!

We ask that members not tag their questions on to a thread previously started by another member (regardless of how similar your problem might seem). Not only does it divert the focus of the thread away from the original poster's problem, but it also makes it less likely that you yourself will get the individual attention that you need.

Please start your own thread and post your question there. When you do, please try to give us as much specific info as possible regarding the problem (exact error messages, system specs, etc.).

For a full description of our posting guidelines and general rules of conduct, please see this page:

Thanks for understanding.

hi, cscgal... i dont know why, but i cant access files on the server with an windows os... i read your tutorial, on linux it works fine... but on winxp... have any idea?

I think what it is is, under redhat-config-samba (i never use the text files myself,only the GUI) windows nt needs the "use encrypted password" flag on the samba server and just to note that i think OSX needs the use ports above (cant remember what num it is)

Ill look it up.I have RHEL/FC1 bible somehwere by oriely which rocks.

thanks, i made this.. but dont work... when i try to access the samba server by a windows machine, the samba server not request user and passwd... this is an firewall problem? no?

is the samba security level set to user or share?
If its user to need to add samba users - theese must be accounts on the linux machine matching the credentials of your windows clients.

tested both... "maybe you dont have permission.." is the msg..
