Re: Samba Won't Take Passwords
Hi Brian,
You need to log into the '98 machine as the user "brian", don't bother
entering a password. '98 has no concept of a remote user being
different from a local user (or has no concept of what a user is), it
just uses the username of the person logged in. If you have no login
screen, then it uses the name of the user that was entered during
installation. If you escaped out of the login screen, then you have no
username. Check the control panel for an AddUser applett (or was that
ChangePassword?).
