Hello,

Right now I'm trying to make it so another user (that uses Windows 2000) will be able to access my public folder and printers on my computer without giving them my main username/password. I created a new user account that is enabled for "sharing only" and in the sharing area of system preferences gave that user read/write access. Then I went to enable that user for SMB that the new user is not available to select. Only my current account is available to select for SMB sharing.

How can I make it so that the new account can be used to login on the Windows 2000 computer to access my computers resources?
