As you created User objects in Create Users (eDirectory User Objects), you were told not to change the Samba settings (Step 13). If you followed this advice, the User objects you have created are enabled for access to Samba on NNLS.
However, before users can access Samba, you must create user home directories by logging in as each user from a shell prompt on the Linux server.
While logged in as the root user, access a shell prompt on the NNLS server.
Many Linux administrators don't load a graphical user interface (GUI) on their Linux servers and, therefore, always work through a shell prompt.
If you are running a GUI, you can access a shell prompt by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1.
IMPORTANT: Do not attempt to complete this procedure from a shell prompt launched from within the GUI or from a remote session, such as an SSH session. If you do, the home directory creation process will fail.
Log in to the shell prompt by entering a username and password that you created in Create Users (eDirectory User Objects).
The system should report that a home directory has been created.
At the system prompt, enter exit
Repeat Step 2 and Step 3 for each User object you want to give access to Samba services.
(Conditional) When you have finished creating home directories for all your Samba users, if you are running a GUI, press Ctrl+Alt+F7 to return to the GUI screen:
