Thanks Craig,
I must admit I do not fully understand exactly what to do from your
comments.

I am using webmin and it is set to create a Samba user whenever a Unix user
is added (I have no idea what backend is used by default)
I think you are saying that the Unix user is created and it is also created
as a Samba user but with not with a Samba password ? We did not come across
this problem today as we were adding Unix users and the users were able to
access their home drives with no problems using the Unix password(or have I
misunderstood you comments)
I also may not have fully explained that the Linux users are on ( 2 x
seperate Linux thin client servers ) and the samba is a seperate Linux
server that needs to store all the users data !

Regards

Denis
