[ILUG] Sharing folders on External USB drive

[Mick O'Toole]

I checked the logs and I'm getting the following (after entering Brendans
details into smb.conf)

Aug  6 16:01:01 motoole-ubuntu sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo): PAM config:
global:krb5_ccache_type 'FILE'
Aug  6 16:01:01 motoole-ubuntu sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo): PAM config:
global:skel '/etc/skel'
Aug  6 16:01:01 motoole-ubuntu sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo): failed to get GP
info
Aug  6 16:01:01 motoole-ubuntu sudo: pam_lwidentity(sudo): request failed


Any ideas?

Thanks

Mick
