Hi I have setup a Samba share in the Linux RedHat 8.0 server running samba 2.2.5 and created a user to have access to that share. So that any person attempting to access the share via a win2k machine will access it by providing user name and password of the share. I have tried almost everything ie, PC guest, smbpasswd etc. but still have no success. In the conf file I am using security = server and password server = "win2k server". I been told this is suppose to be simple to setup. I have searched the web but haven't got far. Much appreciated if anyone can provide me with a sample conf file and/or other instructions needed to get this working Thanks Chandra
I forgot. I can access the my home share and these user accounts only exist in Linux server but not in windows domain.

Simply yuo conf is ok but last step is join your samba to domain if this is not then user is not able access samba if is authorized be domain controler. Samba then works as standalone server and uses local user database(that your home works). To join is two way on redhat try use command smbpasswd with parameters to join as describe man. Or in W2k PDC add computer to domain...

I have managed to get partial success changing global setting "security = share" in smb.conf But now it is also asking for password on home drives. If I have the global setting for security set to "security = server" then it does not ask for a password but will no authenticate to allow access the other share. Much appreciated for any help.
