Samba, anyone?

[lynchlinux at yahoo.com (kathleen lynch)]

HI,
 
I am a newbie.  I am trying to authenticate to linux from a windows box.  I am assuming Samba challenges me  for user name and Id.  My user name suddenly has  the the machine name appended to it  In this case, Poulenc/ root.   or Poulenc/ notes    Do I need to create a user in  RedHat with one of these names?  or is Samba looking elsewhere for user id and pasword?  Any help would be much appreciated.
 
Part 2:  The challenge question:  whoami ?  On the windows box I am Kathleen lynch/SCI going into the linux box and and Domino/Notes.   I am assuming it is Samba who is challenging me as both machines are in MyGroup.  However, for all I know it could be RedHat or Domino challenging me.  How does one know?
