Hi I have a problem conniecting a Windows XP client to my Samba 2.2.3a FreeBSD server. The problem is that Windows XP forcing me to use a Guest user on my none nuest share. WIndows NT/2000 is working prerfect. I can use another username on my none nuest shares. My Configuration file looks like this: [global] workgroup = IT server string = Distribution-Server security = SHARE encrypt passwords = Yes [windows] comment = windows distributions path = /opt/distributions/windows read only = No guest ok = false [macintosh] comment = Macintosh distributions path = /opt/distributions/macintosh read only = No guest ok = false [unix&linux] comment = Unix and Linux distributions path = /opt/distributions/unix_linux read only = No guest ok = false [lp5r] path = /tmp printable = Yes [annex07color] guest ok = true printable = Yes path = /tmp /regars Olle Hansson
Tjenare! :) I think one way to fix this is to use the "Map Network Drive.." which you find when you right click "My Computer". Here you can specify the UNC path to you're samba server and then specify a valid username/password. This problem is a Windows XP "feature" and has nothing to do with Samba. Another way to solve this is to add you're Windows XP machine to a domain and log on with a user that has the appropriate security credentials. Med vennlig hilsen Stian B.
