Hello People,
I am experiencing some weird Problems using samba on a linux server that is
supposed to connect the windows an Macintosh world in our production team.
So far everything works fine - i've set up a directory called
"comon" that
is accessible from almost every Windwos workstation and almost every user.
The problem is "almost". There is actually one user, that is unable to
connect to the given directory on the samba server. This directory is
common and accessible to every user - when i log in as "gast" or any
other
name on any of the windows machines and chose the samba server in network
neighborhood, i directly see the "common" directory, without any
problems,
and without beeing asked for any password. But then when i try to log in on
the windows machine as user "sven", i cannot get to the
"common" directory
on the samba server - when i chose the samba server in network
neighborhood, i directly get asked for a "password
for //sambaserver/IPC$" - which i don't have, and anything i type in
is
wrong. None of the other users which i have no problems with has an account
on the Linux machine - and all of them work on the same machines where it
doesn't work with the "sven" account.
What am i doing wrong?
Heres my samba config, in case that could help (i took out the ip-adresses):
# Samba config file created using SWAT
