I use Samba 2.2.0 on small network. I use "security = user" and
"username map" to map
some Win-users to unix users.
I have simple testing file with username mapping:
vlad = vova vladimir vovan
According to manpage if I connect to Samba as "vova" I should supply
vova's password. Then Samba maps me to unix user "vlad". Then I
have vlad's rights to files in share. Right? Yes. It works this way when
"security = domain" and Samba is domain member.
But when "security = user" Samba behaves differently. When I connect
to share as "vova" Samba rejects vova's password. Logfile tells
me that Samba tries to find user "vlad" in password database and
checks my password against vlad's password.

It looks like Samba first maps user and then check him in passdb.
How to handle this? I need realy working username mapping.
