Thanks for answering Scott.

I tried that and got:

[santi@unit21 santi]$ smbclient -L unit21 -N
Anonymous login successful
Domain=[CYBES4] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 3.0.3-5]
tree connect failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

I have already added the user santi with SWAT.

Didn't work!

Done

I'm using swat. It's cool.

Well, here is my smb.conf

# cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
# Samba config file created using SWAT
# from 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1)
# Date: 2004/07/21 20:07:35
 
# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = CYBES4
        server string = Samba Server
        lanman auth = No
        log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
        max log size = 50
        min protocol = NT1
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        lm announce = No
        preferred master = No
        local master = No
        domain master = No
        dns proxy = No
        idmap uid = 16777216-33554431
        idmap gid = 16777216-33554431
        valid users = santi
 
[printers]
        comment = All Printers
        path = /var/spool/samba
        printable = Yes
        browseable = No
 
[samba]
        path = /home/santi/samba
        read only = No
        guest ok = Yes


I guess I'm having a permissions problem here.
