14 Enter the new password (minimum of 5, maximum of 8 characters)
15 Please use a combination of upper and lower case letters and numbers.
16 Enter new password:

19 Warning: weak password (continuing).
20 Re-enter new password:
21 Password changed.
22 root@poodle:/usr/bin#

24- Note that the password you entered will _not_ be your samba password.

28 root@poodle:/usr/bin# smbpasswd -a testuser
29 New SMB password:
30 Retype new SMB password:
31 Added user testuser.
32 root@poodle:/usr/bin#

34- After you have added your new samba user, you'll have to restart the samba
35 server by running "/etc/init.d/samba restart" or by rebooting the device
36
37- Use the newly created username / password combination to access your network
38 shares. Please note the the Samba username must also exist as a unix username!
