<div>The drill usually goes like this <br>- Create a user account for each user (useradd -m user1 )<br>- Set a strong passwd (pwgen) if they shouldn&#39;t ssh  set their shell to &#39;/bin/false&#39;  (user passwd to adjust the password and edit /etc/passwd to set the shell. Alt, you can give an argument to useradd to set the shell ... man is your friend)<br>
- Add the user to samba store and key in the passwd the user should key in  from windows world (smbpasswd -a user1 )<br>- Set the shares by reviewing /etc/samba/smb.conf (it&#39;s dead simple)<br>- Restart samba<br>- try ( net use  or \\server\share to connect to your share)<br>
- if fail<br>  :Check logs<br>  :verify you don&#39;t have a restrictive MAC setup ...selinux/apparmor<br>  :Increase verbosity in the samba configuration and follow your logs<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
