Hi, we' ve installed a Samba server in an austrian school. To have a good access control to the network, everyone have to authenticate against our samba server. Now the following problem occurs: When somebody enters another domain name in the login-mask's domain-field, the person can easily use this PC with all users/password combinations. Does somebody know, how to turn off the login-mask's domain-name/workgroup field, so that the system will always use the name I' ve defined in system policies??? Thank you, Johannes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Johannes Weberhofer >>> IT-Technologies Austria email: Johannes.Weberhofer@ibm.net tel: +43 (0)3178 - 3679 tel: +43 (0)1 - 204 28 65 ----------------------------------------------------------------------

If you enable this win9x won't let anyone enter unless they authenticate against a pdc. However, a smart user can boot win9x in safe mode, edit the registry and remove your policy setting. -- giulioo@pobox.com
