Getting Samba Access

[mrdremel]

I have re-enabled samba as a startup service. I can see the machine on my network. However when I try to connect with the same user I created on my Pandora, i cannot get access. Is there anything else that needs to be done to get acces to my Pandora from my pc/mac?

The default for Samba is to use its own password database which is in no way related to that used for regular system accounts. You should be able to set a Samba password using:

sudo smbpasswd $USER

Note that sudo will likely ask for a password too, so you'll need to enter your normal password, then your desired Samba password twice.

I did exactly that. My user is mrdremel. I did "sudo smbpasswd -a mrdremel" yesterday. I then type the password (twice).

But still, I cannot get access using that account. I also restarted the smb service after that, but alas it still didn't work.

Any other things I need to do for this? Anyone else get it to work? Would be very handy for quick copy-ing files to the Pandora from the pc.
