i am not sure if it is related with the smeserver-adv-samba contrib but i have installed it yesterday and somehow when i do access samba from windows, samba doesn't ask me to enter a password, even though, i-bays and remote access are setup for asking a password when connecting to i-bays, even worse, i can access the i-bays but only 1 folder deep, meaning i cannot access more deeper into folder tree passed 1st folder.
i have removed smeserver-adv-samba contrib but problem persists.
