<P>Dear Fedora users. I am having my days with Fedora setting up Samba. I work
according to the manuals and follow the basic instructions but with no hope.
It refuses me to access the server.</P>
<P>The things that I set was : Workgroup, server string, password with
unix=yes, etc. Well I cant get it to ask for my password and username to grant
me access to the server. Got any suggestions or settings that I should look
at?</P>
<P>Thank you in advance.</P>
<P>Chris</P></FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></FONT></FONT></BODY></HTML>
