[ale] samba conf

[Luis Luna]

Does anybody have pointers on trying to setup samba on a caldera 2.3
openlinux box? I followed all the steps outlined in the openlinux manual. I
followed the steps at samba.org . I can see the box from windows browse
list. I can click on the file I shared. But as soon as I try to connect to
it I get a user unknown error. I used smbpasswd, I set it to sync with the
domain controller, I manually set the password on the nt box the same as the
linux user, I did smbuser. What am I missing? Has anybody ever got samba to
run correctly? I am fairly new to linux, so I am also having another problem
related to this samba problem. I installed a new hard-drive after I did the
Caldera install. Linux recognized it as /dev/hdc1. Great! I ran mkfs on
/dev/hdc1. I made sure that it was in the fstab file. I can mount /dev/hcd1.
How do I make a "/" mount point on /dev/hdc1 ? I want to create a dir on
this drive and share it out with samba. I spent about 3 days trying to get
this config going. I am ready to shuck the whole and just put nt workstation
on it. The drive will only be used by one or two people at the most anyways.
I really want to get linux working in this conf to be able to expand it to
do other work on our network.
Any help or pointer will be appreciated! Thanks in advance!
