Hi Jamie,

I did the above but no luck. I see my user name being added when I convert
unix users to samba users.

Since yesterday, I've done something and can't see the samba server from
windows. I changed the hostname in Networking > Network Configuration >
Hostname and DNS Client to the FQDN from the hostname, ts130. When webmin
asks for hostname, should that be the FQDN, machine name or domain name? I
noticed that seems to be where the Netbios name comes from.

When I try to login to the windows machine from the server, I get a popup
box asking for username, domain, and password. I setup an account on the
windows machine the same as I set up for me as a samba user. When I enter
the information, it just re-asks for the same info.

Here's the smb.conf:

# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from UNKNOWN (0.0.0.0)
# Date: 2011/10/09 14:50:41

[global]
	workgroup = PALMETTO
	netbios name = TS130
	server string = Samba Server Version %v
	interfaces = lo, eth0, 192.168.1.0/24
	security = SHARE
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	wins proxy = Yes
	wins server = 192.168.1.110
	cups options = raw

[homes]
	comment = Home Directories
	writable = yes
	valid users = %S
	path = /home
        browseable = Yes

[printers]
	comment = All Printers
	path = /var/spool/samba
	printable = Yes
	browseable = No

[netlogon]
	comment = Network Logon Service
	path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
	guest ok = Yes
	share modes = No

[Profiles]
	path = /var/lib/samba/profiles
	guest ok = Yes
	browseable = No

Thanks,

Eddie
