Hi folks, I'm trying to set up a share that can be accessed from Win2K (mainly) clients of different workgroups. Some of the users on these clients have domain accounts, others have local accounts. All of these users have Unix accounts on Samba server (Solaris 7, Samba 2.2.3a). This is a non-public share, only authorized users are allowed to access this share. I would like to know what would be the right security setting and what other options do I need to add to smb.conf file. From my experiment, with security = server, only those users who have domain acounts are able to access this share with their domain username/password. For those who don't have domain accounts accounts, they will have to logged onto their local accounts, but they are not able to get pass the "Connect As/Password" authentication screen. Here is my smb.conf file: [global] workgroup = swgroup netbios name = swserver server string = Samba %v log file = /usr/local/admin/logs/samba/smbd-%v-%h security = user password server = 10.137.1.100 username map = /usr/local/admin/samba/lib/users-swgrp.map encrypt passwords = yes dns proxy = no lock dir = /var/samba/locks [depot] path = /local/swdepot public = no writable = yes printable = no Here is the users.map: !fremont = dquek # local account !desmond = desmondq # domain account nobody = * What do I need to do to let these local users access the same share. Would security = user help? and how? Any pointers will be very much appreciated!!! Regards, Desmond -- JNI Corporation - ASIC Development 45365 Northport Loop West.
