[ale] accessing my linux box from a windows machine

[ringo]

As my user it asked for old password then new password, then said
Machine 127.0.0.1 rejected the anonymous password change: Error was : No
such user.

As root it just asked for a new password then :
Failed to find entry for user root.
Failed to midify the password entry for user root.

How do I set up a user?

On your linux box, you have to add a samba user and password.

I believe the command is smbpasswd
