My wife has a Windows XP box, and I have a Fedora Core 5 PC.
I have samba 3.0.22 configured with a global section like this:

[global]
security = user
workgroup = MSHOME
server string = Samba on linuxpc
encrypt passwords = yes
dns proxy = no
domain master = no
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
cups options = raw
load printers = yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
local master = No
os level = 20
hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.
printcap name = /etc/printcap
max log size = 50


The share I created for my wife to connect to is named tmp:
[tmp]
path = /tmp
force user = fred
force group = sys
comment = tmp directory
valid users = karen KAREN Karen 'Karen Smith'
writeable = yes
public = yes

When I run smbd in debug mode like "smbd -d 3 -i -s /etc/samba/smb.conf",
I see the following errors:

Got user=[Karen Smith] domain=[KAREN] workstation=[KAREN] len1=2
4 len2=24
check_ntlm_password:  Checking password for unmapped user [KAREN]\[K

in passdb. check_ntlm_password:  Authentication for user [Karen Smith] -

I've tried NUMEROUS permutations of settings, and still no luck.
What do I have to do to allow my wife's Windows box connect to
my Linux box?


-Thanks

No problems with something like;

[lenard]
path = /home/lenard
writeable = yes

And using the plain password registry patch;
