need help with samba :(

OK im really stuck with this, been trying to get it to work since yesterday

i got samba up and running and was browsing my redhat 7.3 server from my win2k box within 30 mins

i setup a couple of shares, but my problem is this.

the access level is set to share, so i can only view open files but cant write.

if i set it to user, correctly enough, when i go to conect to the share it asks for a username and password.

now. how do i create samba usernames and passwords ???

there is an executable called smbpasswd, do i use that???

and do i have to create a file to save the passwords in, and where do i do that

i just want the cammand to create a linux user to a samba user need help with samba :(

the smbpasswd file location is :

/usr/local/samba/bin/smbpasswd

i dont know where the file that stores the passwords are, do i create that??? if so, can i call it anything??

thanx need help with samba :(
