I am trying to access my system from another but when i try it ask me for a password. I didn't set a password on my system and i tried the root password and mine but they didn't work. How do i turn off the password?

Now what,

did you set a password or not -- and how do you try to access the remote? ssh, telnet, rlogin, ftp?

Hi,

I still don't get it. You have running Samba on a Linux machine and try to access at it from another Linux box via smb4k, or what?
Have you setup samba on the remote as well? You should provide the Workgroup and also WINS is a good idea...

I have two computers both linux gentoo and both have smb4k. If i try to access computer 1 from computer 2 then computer 1 ask for a password which i never remeber ever setting. And it is not the root password or my password. And if I try to find computer 2 throught smb4k computer 1 can not find it. So i was wondering how to get one of the computer to access the others files.

It depends on your samba setup which shares are accessible with a password only and for which you don't need one... either way you have to add users to the /etc/samba/private/smbpasswd|secrets.tdb file through the smbpasswd tool.

Hth, Alex!!!
