Hi, I am trying to mount a Linux directory onto the Windows box. The smb.conf file looks like this: Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[profiles]" Processing section "[users]" Processing section "[groups]" Processing section "[winshare]" Loaded services file OK.

Here's my samba config Code: [global] workgroup = ARBEITSGRUPPE hosts deny = 10.0.0.1 [exchange] comment = Exchange path = /home/hyper/exchange force user = hyper force group = hyper read only = No [appz] comment = Appz path = /home/hyper/appz Note: I don't want to accept conenctions from 10.0.0.1 which is my router and hence the access point from outside of my lan and I set user and group to my default user on my box so that new files have the correct ownership. Once that is done, you need to add first a system user (if you don't want to use yours) which then can be added to samba: Code: sudo useradd SMB_USER (sudo is the Ubuntu way of getting temporary root access...) Then give a password to that user: Code: sudo passwd SMB_USER Once done, we need to add it to samba: Code: sudo smbpasswd -a SMB_USER I'm not sure if you can just enter a blank password... I've never tried it... in winxp I can save the password for network shares so that was never a matter of importance to me... In the end restart the samba server: Code: sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart Of course you could now limit the system user in one way or another... but I don't know if you need that.
