needed to enter it as sudo smbpasswd -a username. Same result.

So I thought maybe the samba server wasn't installed. I checked
Synaptic

and it said samba was loaded but above it was samba4 which said it was
a

server and was not installed. So I installed it.

Same result.

Any ideas why entering smbpasswd -a username don't work?

<br>
Still baffled but a little wiser. Thanks.

Ubuntu derived distros don't have the full samba package so anything
server related (rather than client) wont work

<font size="-1"><font face="sans-serif">So it seems. I have finally
succumbed and put ubuntu ver 10 on to my backup machine and kubuntu (I
prefer kde) on to my main machine. I can see the required backup file
on the backup machine from the main machine. Amazingly I have not been
able to do that for over a week. Previously it all worked with PCLOS on
both machines under NFS. Then it stopped.<br>

Safe now, thanks for all the advice.<br>
