[Samba] Windows LocalSystem Account -> Linux Samba Server - What's the userID?
I have a Linux Samba server I access from a Win2K system. I want to allow a process started from a Windows "service" to access a share on the Samba server. The Windows service is set to run as "LocalSystem" instead of a specific userID. What userID do I need to define on the Samba server to allow "LocalSystem" to access files on a Samba share? -- Jim Garrison (jhg@acm.org) PGP Keys at http://www.jhmg.net RSA 0x04B73B7F DH 0x70738D88

However, I've never played with this myself.
