[ILUG] Setting up SAMBA

[ILUG] Setting up SAMBA

Ive set up SAMBA server on a Fedora 3 box with it im using a minimal 
smb.conf  which contains

[global]
    workgroup = home
    username map /etc/samba/smbusers
    netbios name = dell

[share1]
    path = /tmp
    read only = no
    guest ok = no

[david]
    path= /home/david
    writeable = yes

This passes testparm

However when I try  smbclient //dell/root Im asked for a password and I 
get back session start up failed: NT_STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE
This also occurs if I try smbclient //dell/david and the appropriate 
password. Ive googled for the NT_STATUS_LOGIN_FAILURE error but the 
information is inconclusive.  If I go though Computer both pc's 
connected are listed - dell shows the two shares /temp and /david but 
(obviously) nothing on toshiba.

Going to toshiba (the windows pc - im using the pcs makes as hostnames) 
in my network places both are machines shown  but if I click on dell it 
asks me for a password for david and wont accept the password.

Im guessing my configuration is close to being correct but not close enough!

Regards

David
