Rich,
I also think so that I need 2 smb.conf files. And below are my
smb.conf file settings which still result in "You must log on
before performing this operation" which is when I tried to map
a directory from the SAMBA server (Linux) to the Windows client.
[global]
netbios name = nb85
server string = Samba Server nb85
hosts allow =137.127.
; guest account = pcguest
security = user
password level = 8
username level = 8
# encrypt passwords = yes
# smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd
domain logons = yes
1 name resolve order = lmhosts wins bcast
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
path = %H
writable = yes
valid users = %S
create mode = 0600
directory mode = 0700
locking = no
browseable = yes
writable = yes
Other settings that I don't list are commented out.
I appreciate any help,
Thanks,
Kathleen Le>
