If you are attempting to connect to a samba (smb) share and you are denied, there’s a high probability your user account hasn’t been granted access to the samba server yet. To grant a user access use the smbpasswd command line tool.
- SSH to the samba server
- Log in as root
smbpasswd -a username- Enter password (twice) – no characters will appear on the screen
Interesting note: if you aren’t logged in as root, the smbpasswd command line tool can be used to change you samba password.

“To grant a user access use the smbpasswd command line tool.”
How much is it possible?
