I checked the server and the smb daemon is active. I tried creating a samba account but when I tried the account, it seems that it is not working. I checked the smbusers file and it is empty; i tried to update it by putting in <linux username> = "<samba username>" but still the problem persists. Please advise.

Since linux.com is going through some changes, this forum isn't too well populated. [Modified by: Reed on March 21, 2009 01:37 PM]
