https://community.hpe.com/t5/operating-system-openvms/install-cifs-on-alpha-8-3-user-and-security-setup/m-p/4479428#M95904 Hello,<BR /><BR />I am trying to setup the CIFS (Samba) product on my lab Alpha at home. Potential for integrating/sharing some files between our Windows and Alpha systems. Examples or links to "step-by-step" are appreciated. <BR /><BR />Detail:<BR />I have installed CIFS using the system account, but need assistance on setting up users and security. I found a couple of tutorials, but I haven't successfully connected to the resource. From Windows XP, I see the Sama/CIFS node as part of my Windows domain. Seems I have missed on how to setup users. Do they have to be the same as Windows user accounts? Do they have to be VMS accounts from SysUAF? Maybe I have something crossed up in the smb.conf config file. This is my lab Alpha at home so I can try pretty much any solution you provide.<BR /><BR />Thanks,<BR /><BR />John<BR />john dot farmer at genworth dot com<BR /><BR />System:<BR />OpenVMS8.3<BR />CIFS 1.1<BR />Windows 2000 Active Directory server<BR />Windows XPPro desktop Thu, 13 Aug 2009 20:59:40 GMT John T.
