Question : Samba share on Windows 2003
I am trying to access a Samba share that is on a SLES 11 box from a Windows 2003 server. I have ports 137 through 139 (tcp and udp) open on my firewall for my SLES server. When I browse on the Windows system and enter \\<ip address of server>, I get a listing of all of the shares on the SLES system. When I click on a share, I am prompted for a user/password, but no matter what I enter I am rejected authentication.
My config is as follows:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cups options = raw
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home = \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = Yes
[domain]
comment = Test Samba Share
path = /path_to_data
browseable = Yes
read only = No
I can browse on my windows machines to \\ip_address_samba_server and see all the shares listed. When I try to launch a share, I am prompted for authentication and whatever I enter it will not accept. I have been trying \\ip_address_samba_server\
root and the root password.
Any advice?

Did you add the root by using command smbuser and setting password for root with command smbpasswd?
A Linux user should have the separate smbpasswd to access the smbshare from the different system like Windows
