Hello, I am trying to access shares on a samba 2.07 server (user level security) from Windows 9x PCs. The Windows 9x boxes all send plain text passwords, so no problem with that. People need to log onto the Windows boxes with a login name different from their linux account. The documentation says that there is a \\sever\share%username method of passing usernames. However, if I try to click on the "map network drive" in the explorer and try to connect to \\giraffe\atoms%christia (christia is the unix username), it prompts for a password and then says that it is incorrect. The same happens if I do a smbclient //giraffe/atoms%christia -U hallo as user christia on the linux box (user hallo does not exist under linux). Am I misunderstanding the documentation (which does not say very much about this method of supplying a username) or is there some other problem? You can find my smb.conf below. Best regards, Christian -----------smb.conf---------------- [global] security = user encrypt passwords = no workgroup = WEIS netbios name = GIRAFFE interfaces = my_ip/255.255.255.0 map to guest = Bad User keepalive = 30 load printers = No os level = 2 wins server = some_ip kernel oplocks = No [homes] comment = Heimatverzeichnis writeable = Yes create mask = 0750 [atoms] comment = Test path = /home browseable = no writable = yes create mask = 0750
