I am trying to set up a sharing account on my mac book pro generation 4,1.
I am running Leopard 10.5.8 trying to share a specific folder which can be accessed on the home network using SMB and logging in with the credentials of the account.
Under file sharing options I have the folder I want to share selected.
When I try to add the sharing only user account I created, it adds it to the "Users:" list where I Can change read/write permissions.
This is where it gets weird; The account I added to the "Users:" column does not appear in the options menu (where you check SMB to enable it) so that I can enable that account for SMB.
I have tried logging in to the shared folder from my windows 7 PC and it says bad username or password. If I log in with my mac administrator account from the Windows 7 PC then it accepts the credentials.
However, with the admin credentials, it shows the entire contents of my Mac and not the shared folder I created.
I only want the shared folder to be accessible, and only with the specified account I made for shares. What is going on here?
Thanks,
Hank
