[CS-FSLUG] Samba with Ubuntu and XP

[Tim Young]

You do not need the computer and domain to log into a Linux box.  Just 
the username will suffice.  I do not think that would keep you from 
logging in, however.

Windows XP defaults to using an encrypted password.  You can disable 
this feature, or make sure that samba has the encrypted password option 
turned on.  I would recommend turning on the encryption.

In the /etc/samba/smb.conf file, search through it to make sure the 
encrypted passwords option is set to "yes".
restart samba.  (/etc/init.d/smb restart)

Then, you need to make sure you have a login and samba password for that 
user:
smbpasswd -a ann

Then try logging in again.
