A similiar request came up some days agao, and some answers were given but I
didn't see the real and final solution. You may search in the HP3000-L archive.

My attempt was that the MPE security does not allow the given MPE user to write
into the given directory in the share. And, by the way, all passwords are kept
in the OS itself and not in Samba!

Subject:  Samba, and allowing write access ( Help)



Hi,
 I've just set up Samba on our m/c. using the sample smb.conf file. That
was straight forward enough.
What I'm having difficultly with is deciphering security levels and
granting access.
What I want to do for now is set up a user with write access to a share/MPE
directory.

I'm being prompted for a password.
The user is entered in the user.map file as
       MGR.account = pcuser
should pcuser relate to another entry somewhere???

Where are the passwords kept?
There are no MPE passwords on MGR.account
entering , at the prompt doesn't work

Has anybody got a sample confif file/s that I could adapt?

Server - 917 (MPE/iX 6.0)
Client - Win98 and WinNT 4

TIA
Tony
