[root@drake /etc]# smbpasswd Administrator
New SMB password:
Retype new SMB password:
Failed to find entry for user Administrator.
Failed to modify password entry for user Administrator


I have Samba installed obviously on this Mandrake 7.2 system and I used an example smb.conf file that someone posted on here to get it goin but when I try to map a drive from my 2000 box to the share...it prompts me wanting a username and passwd....I stay logged in as Administrator on my 2000 box. How do I add Administrator to the smbuser file so i can allow it to map to the share?

man smbpasswd.

It says right in there you have to put -a for a new entry.
