Hi, I have a problem, I want to make a public resource in user mode. This is the configuration file: [global] security = user map to guest = bad user [private] path = /.... valid users = @group [public] path = /.. guest ok = yes I've seen in the logs files, that Windows first send the windows' user/passwd. Samba (obviously that user is not a valid samba account) automaticaly map to guest that user, because of the option map to guest = bad user. I want Samba to ask me for user/passwd and if I enter a bad user, then map me to guest account. Thanks a lot, Ana
