SMB problems... Fwd: SMB fileserver

It worked. Amazing, I almost lose all my hair over this.
It must be said that security = share won't work, only security =  
user. It's been said that Tiger would not allow share and unencrypted  
passwords. I modified my smb.conf to now say
         encrypt passwords = yes
         security = user
I was also having problems with an existing user. Deleting it with  
smbpasswd -x user and then adding it back again with smbpasswd -a  
user allowed that user to be able to connect again.
Thanks a lot for your patience since I know you had previously  
answered my call for help. I just was afraid to use those commands  
since I always install from source with ./configure, make and make  
install.
