Hi Dietrich, So to make sure I understand: 1.User franz logs in. 2.user franz verifies the shares exist (HOW?) do they show up in "My Network Places", or does he do a 'net view \\sambaserver' or what? 3.a couple of minutes later, user franz does step #2 (which is what, EXACTLY), and cannot see the three shares included by smb.conf.franz. ^^^^^^^Is this correct? Question - can user franz STILL do a net use x: \\testdaten\test42 ???? and have it work? don -----Original Message----- From: Dietrich Heise [mailto:Dietrich.Heise@net-and-works.de] Sent: Thursday, October 11, 2001 9:58 AM To: samba@lists.samba.org Subject: win2k and lost shares [was:Re: unknown %a] ok. here are my config files... smb.conf: [global] workgroup = TEST netbios name = TESTDATEN server string = Server %v interfaces = 192.168.128.240/24 encrypt passwords = Yes character set = iso8859-1 min password length = 3 map to guest = Never domain logons = Yes os level = 65 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes unix password sync = no logon drive = U: logon home = \\TESTDATEN\%U logon path = \\TESTDATEN\%U\profiles logon script = logon.bat wins support = yes printing = cups log level = 10 printer driver location = \\TESTDATEN\printer$ max disk size = 50 security = domain log file = /var/log/samba/log.samba username map = /etc/samba/users.map [transfer] comment = U: %U - L: %L - G: %G - g: %g path = /image-in browseable = yes writeable = yes public = yes include = /etc/samba/smb.conf.%U smb.conf.anna: [NOCHEINE] path = /samba/ressourcen/nocheine readonly = no comment [TEST42] path = /samba/ressourcen/test42 readonly = yes comment [WASWEISSICH] path = /samba/ressourcen/wasweissich readonly = yes comment smb.conf.franz: [NOCHEINE] path = /samba/ressourcen/nocheine readonly = no comment [TEST42] path = /samba/ressourcen/test42 readonly = yes comment [WASWEISSICH] path = /samba/ressourcen/wasweissich readonly = yes comment users.map: root = Admin logon.bat rem @echo off if %OS%==Windows_NT goto Windows_NT net use u: /home goto COMMON :Windows_NT net use /persistent:no :COMMON rem net use p: \\TESTDATEN\public net use g: \\TESTDATEN\gruppe pause The problem is for example: When user franz logging in in the Win2k Client all looks good. But after a short time the shares [NOCHEINE], [TEST42] and [WASWEISSICH] are lost! These shares are there for only a moment after the login! I testet it with samba 2.2.1a and 2.2.2-pre as server and win2k service pack 2 as client.
