I'm new to Samba, and we just loaded it here at our site to interact with NT. We're running Sun Solaris 2.5.1, and NT TERMINAL SERVER 4.0. (Forgive the caps, but we've found this multi user environment wreaks havoc on some applications). The drives are served out fine, and everyone can map under the user id they have logged onto NT with. All NT ids match the Unix id. However, you can't map a drive under another userid. This is fine for all but the NT administrator, because we'd like to map drives as the Unix id root there. Can this be done? Thanks. -- Cindy Hodgins chodgins@predict.com Prediction Company 505/984-3123 x40
Cindy, Try the "username map" option in smb.conf. I haven't tried it but it seems like what you are looking for. albert On Sat, 9 Jan 1999, Cindy Hodgins wrote:> I'm new to Samba, and we just loaded it here at our site to > interact with NT.

I am running Samba on a Unix machine. I have NT clients that map drives to this Unix machine. Every once in a while a user will lose the ability to map a drive to the Unix machine. The error message that they get is as follows "Incorrect password or unknown username for:" Putting in the correct username and password does not work. The user ends up having to disconnect all mapped drives to the Unix machine and then they are able to reconnect to the Unix machine. Has anyone ever heard of this kind of problem? Any ideas on how to correct the problem.
