samba - Oct 2002 - NT4 "at" jobs & samba

Hello:

All of my "at" jobs that write to a samba share (2.2.5) balk with 
"access denied" errors. I have "force nt acl user = yes" on
the share,
but this doesnt help.  "access denied" only occurs when the batch jobs
run under "at". I can run the batch files successfully at the nt cmd 
line.  I can only guess that nt4 "at" jobs are running as some kind of
'system' user that samba doesnt know of. Does anyone know the workaround
here?

thanks

Well your 'at' job needs to be able to authenticate to the remote SMB
server.  Unless you just decide to turn off security, I suggest you read
up on the MS website on how to do this under NT, then apply that to
Samba.
