October 25, 201015 yr I enabled users. I created a new user Movies with no password. I try to access tower from a Windows machine and it asks for a username / password. root is the only user it will accept. I created Movies several times. It "accepts" the user but when it refreshes the user list, Movies disappears and only root is left. I can in fact log in from windows with root and I can see my movies share which is amalgamating all of the movies across three drives. So where is the Movies user?

October 25, 201015 yr FYI. I thought I was going to have the same problem. My Windows users had upper case names. I went ahead and created all lower case versions on unRAID and I was able to login from Windows with an Uppercase user name (Windows) to a lowercase user name (unRAID) without the password prompt. As long as the password was the same on the Windows box and unRAID anyway.

From the user's manual (yep, I RTFM) Add user To create a new user (User level security enabled), scroll to the end of the Users list, enter the new User name and Password (and Retype password), and then click Add User. Notice no mention of must not contain capital letters. I guess that is more linux stuff I am just supposed to know? Anyway, Thanks for the info. jwc

I am not the author of the manual, just a user of unRAID. I too tried to create a user "Media" and it also failed. Eventually I figured it out. I don't think it is a limitation of Linux, but might be one to make the ID's compatible with SAMBA. I really don't know. It is not that it is a limitation of the unRAID software, but that they give no error message if you do use an ID with characters that are not supported. For all I know it might be a long standing bug. Joe L.
