I am new to FreeNAS and have create a Windows(samba) share that I am trying to access from a Windows 7 laptop and a Mac Pro desktop. On both machines I am prompted for a username and password. However I never set-up a username or password for the share under FreeNAS. I am using local authentication on both the Windows and Mac systems. I enter my username and password for the local system and it gets rejected. What am I doing wrong?
