Someone has an idea, what went wrong? I tried it several times, always the same result. I choosed to login as root, so no restrictions will cause problems, I thought ...
Thank you. Thats it. I have to create the user first and then I can add him to Samba. Next time I copy the error message to a searchmachine before I ask here, it's a common mistake in Samba.
