Color me stupid! I have set up a small SAMBA network using a Caldera Systems eServer 2.3 implementation of Linux with a AMD K-6/2 and 128 meg RAM. It works great from one computer, and one user id, but I am unable to login as any other user. The one user is set up in such a way that it would create a serious security hole (member of group root). The server shows up in the network neighborhood, the workgroup is visible to all computers on the LAN, the workstations have the same OS, I can even browse the server's web services, and use webadmin. Anyone have an idea as to the problem, and any possible solutions???? Might there be a rights issue somewhere? Bruce -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Definately. But you have to go step by step....to understand the perms. Pls look critically at smb.conf.default and start from there, one thing at a time.

I'm certain there's something simple that I'm missing. I have setup 6 UNIX users and enabled them with Samba accounts. All six users are members of a group. I have set this group as valid for access. But I can only access my Samba shares with a single user. I can utilize any Windoze workstation - but only my user name is acceptable. The other names permit logging into the server to view shares - but they don't have access beyond directory/printer listings. What silly thing am I missing? Daniel
On the Samba 3 roadmap page it shows that some docs are done, such as the Win2K AD support. Where would I find those docs? Thanks! Michael Lueck Lueck Data Systems http://www.lueckdatasystems.com/
Michael, I am still working on the docs. You can find a work-in-progress version in: http://samba.org/~jht/NT4migration/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf Enjoy! - John T.
