| Rather than commenting on all the other comments so far, I'll just
| respond to the initial post.
|
| You probably want to use smbpasswd to set the "windows" password
| for the account.
|
| If you want a "GUI" to add users and maintian Samba, install
| webmin.
|
| I have a FC3 machine with Samba that I access regularly from XP Pro
| 2005. The samba passwords are stored in a different file than the
| unix passwords and are encrypted with a MD5 type hash by default.
|
| Hope this helps.
|
| You may also want to punch some holes in your firewall.

there is a registry setting with xp, that caused me some fun:

requiresignorseal is the key, it has to be 0 to work with samba, at
least it had to for me...
