You should, but windows wont let you.

What you need to do is map 'Fokke Nauta' in smb land to 'pi' in linux land.

i.e. in smb.conf under [global] add a line like

[global]
     username map = /usr/local/samba/private/usermap.txt


and create that file (as root) and put in it...


pi = "Fokke Nauta"
