All of the infro that I've gotten from this bb has been great. Here is my new problem. I have a Red Hat 7.3 server on a windows 2000 network. When I go to network neighborhood I can see my Red Hat server, but when I try an access my server it ask me for a login and password and nothing I key in works. I've tried setting Samba Global to Security = server and setting the password server to the PDC and I've tried setting security = domain. I want users to be able to use their regular network logins to access my linux server.
Thanks

I'm also having this problem. I know it's something not right in smb.conf, but I can't figure out what! (any help would be appreciated...)

Maybe this will help............................................. Connect to a Linux machine running Samba the same way you connect to any Windows machine - browse through Network Neighboorhood or Windows Explorer entering a password if required. Note: Windows 95/98 only prompts for a password and assumes the Windows Login name as the username. You need to either create a user on your Linux box with your Windows Login or create a Windows Login with the same username on your Linux machine. Optionally, you can have the Windows Login and password for Windows 95/98/NT/2000 be the same as your Linux Samba username and password and it will not prompt for a password. Obviously, this is a security issue if others have access to your system. Your call. ..................http://www.linuxheadquarters.com/howto/networking/samba.shtml

The problem I ran into was that I could see the linux machine and click on it in Network Neighbourhood, but when it asked for my username/password no matter what I typed (either my NT logon or my linux user/pass) it wouldn't accept it...
Where can I specify which user/pass combinations should be accepted by the samba server?

You need to add a samba password. The command is smbpasswd as johnt suggests.
