Samba XP Login

[dickohead]

Hey guys,

 

How do i create a samba user that can login to restricted samba shares from windows XP?

 

I have public access working fine for heaps of folders... but that's my problem, everyone can see everyone elses home folders..... not a good idea!

 

So how do i restrict them so when users try to access folders, they are asked to login?

 

Here is the section of my smb.conf file:

[DYLAN_HOMEPAGE]
  path = /home/dylan/public_html
  comment = Dylan's Homepage
  writeable = yes
  valid users = @dylan
  user = dylan

i have run:

smbpasswd -a dylan
password:
retype password:

 

and that was all good, but is there a command to add the user as an smbuser? smbuseradd made sense, but isn't a command in mandrake 10......... how do i allow users login access to samba from windows xp?

 

Everytime i try and login from an XP machine, it fails and tells me that:

is not accessible. You might not have permissions, blah blah
Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one username, are not allowed. Disconnect all previous connections to the server or shared resource and try again

 

but i have no other connections to the samba folder... i am logged into ssh, but not as 'dylan '.....
