CHAPTER 25 Setting Up Networks and Samba 522
Highlight the smbpasswd file entry, and then click the Edit button. Type in the full pathname
of the smbpassword file: /etc/samba/smbpasswd.
After saving these configuration items, you can click the Finish button to allow the
Samba server wizard to save the configuration.
Configuring User Accounts
Before you can connect to shared folders or printers on the Samba server, you must
specify user accounts that can be used to log into the Samba server. The Samba server is
configured to use its own user and password file. Both files are located in the /etc/samba
directory.
The smbuser file maps openSUSE system accounts to Samba accounts. By default, the root
openSUSE system account is mapped to a Samba account called administrator. This is the
default privileged account used on Windows workstations and servers. Users logged in as
administrator will connect to the Samba server as the root user account.
You can also map individual openSUSE user accounts to other Windows accounts in this
file. Each user account is stored on a separate line in the format:
user = mapping
where user is the openSUSE user account, and mapping is the Windows account mapping.
