Hi. I am attempting to install Samba on a Linux box. It compiled OK, and it
seems that testparm worked OK. (However I don't understand the results).

1. When I try step 7 from the installation procedure, listing the shares on
the server,  I type  the following

			smbclient -L hostname (where hostname = MARK)

and I get:

			Server time....
			Timezone .....
			Domain=[WORKGROUP] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.15p6]
			SMBtconX failed. ERRSRV - ERRbadpw (Bad password -
				name/password pair in Tree
			Connect or Session Setup are invalid.)
			Perhaps you are using the wrong sharename, username or
 			password?
			......

My smb.conf file looks like:

		[homes]
			workgroup = MYGROUP
			guest ok = no
			read only = no

(I am not concerned about security at this point)

When I compiled the source I selected Linux without passwords.

2. For the client, Windows for workgroups, I took the files dsk3-1.exe and
dsk3-2.exe from Microsoft's ftp site ftp.microsoft.com in directory :
		bussys/Clients/MSCLIENTS

	I cannot load the network drivers from these programs and then start
WFW. I get a windows error.


I have a 12 station WFW network running using MS TCP/IP.

By the way, I can telnet into my Linux box, through ethernet cards without any
problem.

What I want to do is have linux as the server, WfW as the client, and be able
to print on the printer connected to the client from the server. I also want
to be able to access the client's  hard disk from the server so I can back up
 client files on the server's tape drive.

After reading the documentation on Samba, it appears that this can be done.
However I have run into problems and could use some help/ suggestions.

Thanks.
