I had asked last week what would happen if I enabled the 'encrypt passwords = yes' option but didn't have a user entry in the smbpasswd file. The general concensus would be that the user would not be connected. Luke said he THOUGHT it might depend on the GUEST_SESSETUP value in the local.h include file, but he wasn't sure. It looks like Luke was correct. I had already changed that value to 2 for other reasons and it looks like this will let people not having an entry in the smbpasswd database logon to the machine as guest. So, there you have it... --------------------------------------------------------------------- | Tim Winders, CNE | Email: twinders@SPC.cc.tx.us | | Network Administrator | Phone: 806-894-9611 x 2369 | | South Plains College | Fax: 806-897-4711 | ---------------------------------------------------------------------
