I have installed samba-2.0.2 on Solaris, I can map home directories from Windows machines. Problem 1: After mapping home directory on windows m/c A, I can see the "smbd" process running on solaris server. I will disconnect my home directory from the existing windows machine. I can map my home directory from machine B (different windows machine) without password. I can map different user's home directory also in machine B. what could be the problem. Problem 2: I have installed older version of samba, it works fine, but my problem is whenever User map's his/her home directory, smbd process invokes, but this smbd process is invoked by "root" instead of "user".
