I used samba on FC3 with no problems.
I recently upgraded to a new computer AMD 64 X2 and I installed 64 bit FC4.
Samba seems to be mostly configured correctly, except that it appears as
though somehow for the installation I do NT have a samba user.
If I had to guess, I would say that I have version 3.0.14a-2 for x86_64.
I logged in from a windows computer and I was able to look at my home
directory, but I was unable to look at a public area because
[2006/01/23 23:05:43, 1] (415)
Couldn't find user samba
[2006/01/23 23:05:46, 1] (415)
Couldn't find user samba
Again, this is speculation, but I do believe that the server is trying
to use the samba user to access the public area, but the samba user does
NT exist. I am not really certain how to create a samba user such that
it will not be a security risk. Do I need to simply create a user named
samba and give it an arbitrary password that is not easily guesable and
then things will start working?
