You should enable dnsmasq to use your domain inside home

When I click Run on Samba wizard, the log shows:

[ samba ]
adding SAMBA share for user HTPC
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable.  Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.
Failed to add entry for user HTPC.
usermod: user 'HTPC' does not exist
adding SAMBA share for user ncp
SMB enabled

But I can’t log from Windows, I always get a Access denied message.

The samba.conf is:

    writeable = yes
;       browseable = yes
    valid users = HTPC
    force group = www-data
    create mask = 0770
    directory mask = 0771
    force create mode = 0660
    force directory mode = 0770

[ncp-ncp]
    path = /media/USBdrive/ncdata/ncp/files
    writeable = yes
;       browseable = yes
    valid users = ncp
    force group = www-data
    create mask = 0770
    directory mask = 0771
    force create mode = 0660
    force directory mode = 0770

What credentials I have to put in Windows login dialog box to connect?

Thank you.

PS: Sorry for my english :wink:

That looks like you’ll need to use the user ncp with the password you’ve configured for the ncp user.
If you haven’t set a password for that user yet, do so with sudo smbpasswd -a ncp

Thank you.
Samba is accesible, at least.

Another problem I discovered is the NAME_REGEX. It avoid the creation of users because I use capital letters…
I change the etc/ adduser.conf, but it seems the change doesn’t apply, even after reboot. And I need capital letters, because will be more easy that edit all user names I think.

Thanks for your report, I will modify the samba launcher so that if the user create fails the whole thing fails. I will also have a look at the NAME_REGEX issue

edit: implemented in v0.53.6
