Hi, I've got a development webserver running Fedora Core 6, and I'm trying to make the webroot accessable via samba.

My samba config is as follows:
Code:
[global]
workgroup = WORKGROUP
netbios name = FC6VM

[htdocs]
path = /wwwroot/htdocs
comment = webserver document root
public = no
read only = no
valid users = htdocs

I've created the htdocs user, used smbpasswd to set the windows password, and given it read/write access to htdocs.

The windows machine i'm trying to connect from is part of a domain. When I try to access the share from windows, the auth box pops up, but when I type user: htdocs and the password, it automatically tries to resolve "htdocs" to a windows domain user, i.e. <domain>\htdocs which doesn't exist.

What can I type as the username to prevent this happening? Is there a htdocs@xxx type username format?
