Users can't log in... except me!

I have the system to the point where users can see the shares from their Windows XP boxes. Logging in results in getting the username/password box, but upon entering the info, it is not accepted, but instead plugs the \machinename\username in the username box, and blanks out the password.
I've set CIFS and folder shares to allow access by both the users and the group to which they are assigned, and triple checked a test password, no dice.
What is weird is, I'm having no problem logging in from my Windows 7 machine or their machines when I log in under my own username/password.
I am running .5.9
any thoughts?
thanks,
jf

Still no dice; it is acting as if the passwords, execpt the one I set up for me, are no good. It leaves the "HOSTNAMEofyourNAS\username" info in place, but won't log in. I've checked, and every user is set up exactly the same as the one I set up to try myself...

This may be a hint... my password is the same as the admin password, maybe that is why mine is working?

I may be blind, but I don't see a way to open a terminal from the control panel?

just set up the two lines as cron jobs a minute apart; when I try to log in locally, using 'admin' and pw, I can't get in, and when I log in under my user name, pbedit is not a valid command?

Ran the cat /etc/passwd manually, got this below, 'jfriedson' is the name/pw that works...

Zitat von "tekkbebe"

Do the other user and passes work from your win 7 machine? What is chmod of the shared folder? If the Shared folder does not have correct chmod the users will not be able to access the folders/files in the shared folder even if you give them access via privileges or ACL.

Something like a chmod 666 /WestSpringfield ? I'm assuming I can't do that from the web interface, need to so that from command line?

Thanks, tekkbebe.!
David, the output on access is:
Access: (2777) drwxrwsrwx

Both ways, all of them, including me.

OK, I'm clearly missing something.. when I log in locally as root, and do ls I don't see anything in the way of directories. When I log in as jfriedson, I can see and cd to media and get to the level above the sharedfoldername However, even though I've changed my user status to include root, with or without sudo in the command, it is not letting me execute the demand. ?

EDIT: ouch wait.. gotta use root password with SU <sigh>

Yeah, the command worked.. lets go see...
