Unix Sco Open Server, Windows Computers Problem Access Unix Shared Files Help!!!!!

[sillypaul1983]

Hello Moto

I hope someone can help

We's here at work, have a unix box with sco openserver 5 on it, so it has a nice gui interface.. and also a fair few windows computers..

a system admin guy b4 me, has set up a user called neil, which can, when u try to access the unix box using windows explorer, and you type his username password, it works...

But we want more users, so i looked in the sco at the userlist, neil is there, so i created other user, and tryed matching the access details, even also on the folders etc... and rebooted, but still it rejects my new user/password

When it does not allow the user, its not even on a folder basic's, because there 3 shared folders, but it does not allow you, to even connect to the root..

I cant see the different between these users, and what was done differently when that one was created, anyone, got any ideas about this one

thanks in advance..

no one answered, so i worked it out

thanks all

anyways since i'm nice, i thought i would tell you what i worked out, incase someone else needs this one day..

turns out, the network access, was not being controled by unix, or sco open server, but by 3rd party software which had been installed, called samba.. so i conjigged it in there and bobs your uncle..
