Hi guys, I would like you to help me with two problems we have here with samba. It works fine on almost all the situations but we're unable to connect from a win95 machine with two identities simultaneously. The situation is that: john and eric have their own account in the server (Unix running samba). They share another account (say netmen). They need access to their own account and to the common account (at the same time). Does anybody know how to achieve that on Win95? The other problem is related to the log in log.nmb: process_node_status_request: status request for name *<00> from IP 195.122.195.222 on subnet REMOTE_BROADCAST_SUBNET - name not found. process_node_status_request: status request for name *<00> from IP 195.122.195.222 on subnet REMOTE_BROADCAST_SUBNET - name not found. process_node_status_request: status request for name *<00> from IP 195.122.195.222 on subnet REMOTE_BROADCAST_SUBNET - name not found. This file is plenty of lines like that. Almost all the IP addresses are out of our net. How can avoid receiving those requests or logging them? Thank you for your time. -- Miquel Bonastre (miquel@fib.upc.es) Area de Sistemes Unix Facultat d'Informatica de Barcelona Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya

Just define the common share with valid users = @netmen and define this group in /etc/group with john and eric being members.

Well, this worked **once**, and hasn't been re-tried since, but we set the Win95 machine to have a single ``account'', deaktop and .pwl file (via the second tabe in the password-changing program), logged on, mounted john's share, provided his password and set the share to be mounted at startup. Then we restarted, mounted netmen's share, provided that password and set it to remount, too. Ever thereafter it would mount both shares at boot time (and we also reverse-engineered both john and netman's passwords from the .pwl file (:-)) The whole idea is scary. I strongly suspect that the quick answer is to be able to add to the .pwl file via a program, and the real answer is to edit the registry so people have to provide passwords for each share at boot time... --dave
