samba: samba-sessential: The next step on my way to a fool-proof samba server. This one starts a wide open p/w-less server with a single share containing a helpfile explaining how to configure a samba user+password. Once that's done the _real_ secure samba server is activated grating access to the targets filesystem via encrypted passwords

+transfer of files and directories between any networked desktop PC and
+your networked PDA.
+
+Since it is generally a bad idea to allow everyone read and write access
+to your PDA, you will have to configure at least one user to get access to
+any shared folder.
+
+How to create a Samba user with password:
+
+- If you haven't already created a non-root user, do so now:
+ root@poodle:/usr/bin# adduser testuser
+ Changing password for testuser
+ Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
+ Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
+ Enter new password:
+ Bad password: too short.
+
+ Warning: weak password (continuing).
+ Re-enter new password:
+ Password changed.
+ root@poodle:/usr/bin#
+
+- Note that the password you entered will _not_ be your samba password.
+ Samba uses its own password database.
+
+- Add a Samba password for your user:
+ root@poodle:/usr/bin# smbpasswd -a testuser
+ New SMB password:
+ Retype new SMB password:
+ Added user testuser.
+ root@poodle:/usr/bin#
+
+- After you have added your new samba user, you'll have to restart the samba
+ server by running "/etc/init.d/samba restart" or by rebooting the device
+
+- Use the newly created username / password combination to access your network
+ shares. Please note the the Samba username must also exist as a unix username!
