How to Use Samba-TNG Server in Puppy

[rcrsn51]

Where the ******** stands for the new password.
Should this happen ?

Here is the better way to change the password.

Samba keeps its own set of passwords - it doesn't care about the Puppy versions. So you might want to change the Samba server root password to something more secure than "woofwoof".

Code: Select all

rpcclient
$deluser root
$createuser root -p newpassword
$quit

[rcrsn51]

No reply?

I did try this too, and deluser also fails.

Some details would be nice.

I tested this in Wary55 and it worked correctly.

Also, the Samba server must be running in order for rpcclient to work.

I have a Samsung printer connected via LPT port to a P3 computer with Precise 5.7.1. At one time (with Windows 7) I was able to use the puppy as a print server. Then I went to USB. Now, the USB port no longer works on the printer, but the LPT port does. So, I am trying to salvage a working laser printer.

I'm trying re-connect my laptop (Win10) to the networked printer. However, I cannot "see" the Puppy computer or the printer.

\\pupserver
does not work.

If I go to explorer, I do see:
RalinkLinuxClient

But I am unable to do anything with it. I have as much access as I do my Roku. They appear on the list, but no connection.

I am pretty sure that my setup worked before. I also set up files too, so those should appear, but they do not. Is it possible that Win 10 won't connect??
