The Linux system serving Samba must have the Samba users with matching
usernames and passwords.

It's fine if the users have same names on both systems.

They also need a Samba password made separately from the normal unix
password. The Samba password can of course be the same as the normal
unix password.

To create a Samba password for a Samba user on the Linux system:

# smbpasswd -a yourusername

I've used Samba in the past with 2 openSUSE systems and a couple of Windows
2K systems. The only way to get the openSUSE Samba to work, after setting
passwords the same, is to turn off the firewall. Yes, Yast opens ports
when it configures Samba, but it hasn't worked since the firewall was
added.

I didn't even bother configuring Samba with 10.3 - why waste my time when I
can do what I need with USB flash? - ah -- most of the time.

What i want is a Linux to Linux, NON-samba, NON-windows crap compatable,
file and directory sharing. Secure connections aren't when there's a virus
magnet connected.

No, it's not.

Here it works fine.

Yes, why waste any time...
