I have a few problems

1.) I am using webmin to do all my configurations, and when I try to log into swat, I am unable to log in. It tells me invalid username/password. I am trying to log in as root, but it is not working.

2.) I set up a new share on my linux computer and I can see it on my windows computer. When I click on my new share to get in, it asks me for a username and password, but again it says I have an invalid username/password.

3.) Also, how would I be able to share my windows directory and browse it through my linux machine, and how would I see it. Is there any "network friendly" way for a newbie to work with?

4.) I have a laserjet printer connected to my windows computer and was wondering how to print to that printer.

By the way, I am using KDE. If you need any more specifications, let me know.

Did you try this??

Now we have to add at least two Samba users to be able to install the printer drivers and to allow users to connect to the printer. Note that both users have to exist in the system's /etc/passwd file.

Code:


# smbpasswd -a printer_username
# smbpasswd -a root


root needs to be added to allow adding the PS drivers for Windows clients, and printer_username will be used by Windows clients when logging into PrintServer to connect to the printer. The Samba passwords need not be the same as the system passwords in /etc/passwd.
