You can add the user by the command 'smbpasswd -a <username>' then it
prompts you to set this new user's password.  I am a big fan of using
Swat or samba-swat.  It's a nice web interface to setting Samba up on
port 901. Never have used the control panel for this before.  Then you
also have the option to just to edit the flat file.

The Danger of Peacemaker

By Timothy R. Butler

Here is a story. The leaders of a church have a personal agenda against someone and want to quiet him, exact revenge or what have you. They not only come at him within their church, they continue by following him outside of that church to any other church he seeks refuge at and any place he works, making a wreck of his life in the process. That is the sort of thing that only happened in the past, in dusty tales of witch-hunts in Salem or the Inquisition in Spain, right? Wrong: it is happening today, perhaps at a seemingly normal church near you.
