[solved] Issues setting up a samba file share..

Hey all! I'm trying to setup a samba file share on one of my computers I have.

Here is my config:

[global] 
workgroup = WORKGROUP
server string = piefile
netbios name = piefile
security = konoii
null passwords = yes
map to guest = bad user
load printers = no
printing = bsd
printcap name = /dev/null
disable spools = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
dns proxy = no
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=131072 SO_SNDBUF=131072 SO_KEEPALIVE
[piefiles]
path = /mnt/storage/
read only = no
public = yes
writable = yes
guest ok = no

When I go to try to connect to it, it says:

Failed to open "piefiles"
Permission denied."

Possibly/probably stating the obvious, but have you actually added a user?

Re: [solved] Issues setting up a samba file share..

I did add a user. I created one on the system and did pdbedit -a -u username

I did fix my problem though, I had to run smbpasswd -e username to activate the username. Now I am able to connect to it from Thunar and my windows machines
