[Samba] Multiple connections to a server by same user, using more than one user name, not allowed.
Hi, I am using samba 2.2.7, configured with winbind, connected to a domain. I have publically shared printers that are done via user map. I also have many shares that I need to authenticate for, due to access rights. With one of the printers installed on my XP laptop, if I try to connect to a share, but inputting my "DOMAIN\user" and "password" I get the following error: "Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, not allowed." I have read that Windows will not allow you to connect to samba with more than one username, and since the printer share is mapped to a fake user, then it counts that as one username. Parts of my smb.conf is below: ####################begin [global] workgroup = ALCHEMY template shell = /bin/false template homedir = /home/%D/%U winbind uid = 10000-50000 winbind gid = 10000-50000 server string = WINBIND wins server = x.x.x.x security = domain password server = ALCHEMY encrypt passwords = yes map to guest = bad user smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 dns proxy = no printcap name = /etc/printcap guest account = nobody server string = Print Server comment = Print Server hosts allow = x.x log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba create mask = 0700 printable = yes browseable = yes public = yes [pspview_all] comment = People Soft Secure Viewable Files path = /home/shares/pspview_all public = no writable = yes valid users = 'DOMAIN\username' create mode = 0774 directory mode = 0775 ########################end I have the "map to guest" and "guest account" so the printers can be publically used without authentication. Then using a DOMAIN\username (that I can see authenticating on the PDC, I get the error I stated above. Is there any workaround to this? thanks, stephen -- ---------------------------------------------------- Stephen Agar, Systems Administrator II University of Southern Mississippi, iTech e-mail: stephen.agar@usm.edu
