[Samba] Force user does not work if connecting to more than one share fro m a PC
I am trying to simulate functionality that was provided by Reflection NFS. With this product a user can connect to two shares on the same server with different user authentication. I have tried to use Samba to achieve the same effect with no success. If I try the following : net use X: \\server\share1 <\\server\share1> /user:user1 net use Y: \\server\share2 <\\server\share2> /user:user2 When mapping the second drive I get the error message 'The credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials' I understand this is a limitation imposed by Windows NT. So I have tried to use the 'force user' option on each of the two shares. [share1] force user = user1 path = /usr/data1 [share2] force user = user2 path = /usr/data2 When I map the second share on the client it appears to force the user from the first mapping not the second. Any ideas how I can get around this. Samba version : 2.2.2 Platform : Solaris (SPARC) Regards Mike Phillips
