I'm trying to setup Samba on my Linux server so my wife/daughter can print
from their Win95 box. I have Samba installed and configured on the server
using Webmin. I can see the Samba server from the Win95 box. However,
every time I try to print a test page I am prompted for a password. I
found documentation online that says the format of the password is
"userpass,acctpass" but I have no idea what this really means. Are there
two passwords? Is this really "userid,password" and, if so, which user id
am I using on the Linux box? Can I configure Samba to not ask for
passwords at all? I though setting the Global "Security" option to "SHARE"
would do that, but I still get asked for passwords.
Any ideas?
