This is not a Samba problem. It is the behaviour of the Windows client. Different connections to the same server must be done with the same user. It is exactly the same when you connect to a Windows fileserver. regards MW "Ham MI-LY, Gerhard Stehr" <gerhard.stehr@kuehne-nagel.com>@lists.samba.org on 06.02.2002 09:41:52 Gesendet von: samba-admin@lists.samba.org An: samba@lists.samba.org Kopie: Org.Element: Telefon: Thema: [Samba] Configuring Samba on AIX Hi there, I am trying to set up a samba server on AIX 4.3.3 and I am able to mount filessystems on my Windows2000 PC. But, I want to have several filesystems only accessible after a given login and password of the owner (valid user) and some writable to all without password (/tmp). The /tmp FS works fine. At mounting the others the system asks me for a login/password first. But when I entered one I can either read all the others (no password prompting anymore) or the system asks me for a username and password, but says the filesystem is already in use with another username and should be released first, which is very strange in my opinion... (this is the actual configuration) How do I have to configure samba the right way? I didn't find my problem in the documentations. Kind regards Gerhard My smb.conf file is as follows (there is also a smbpasswd file with 4 users in it): #======================= Global Settings ====================================[global] workgroup = WORKGROUP server string = Samba netbios name = ZAPHOD log file = /usr/local/samba/var/log.%m max log size = 5000 log level = 1 security = server # map to guest = Bad User encrypt passwords = no # username map = /usr/local/samba/users.map # map to guest = Never # Use password server option only with security = server # The argument list may include: # password server = My_PDC_Name [My_BDC_Name] [My_Next_BDC_Name] # or to auto-locate the domain controller/s password server = 10.63.253.52 ; password server = <NT-Server-Name> socket options = TCP_NODELAY #============================ Share Definitions =============================[temp] path = /tmp read only = no public = yes writable = yes browseable = yes guest ok = yes [homes] ; path = %H comment = Home Directories browseable = no public = no writable = yes # valid users = %u [glm] path = /usr/local/glm5 browseable = yes writable = no public = no valid users = gerhard glm [dhtl] path = /usr/local/glm5/dhtl browseable = yes read only = no writable = yes force user = glmdhtl public = no valid users = glmdhtl write list = glmdhtl [dc2k] path = /usr/local/glm5/dc2k browseable = yes writable = yes public = no valid users = glmdc2k -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
