[Samba] Access to shares from a machine with no trust account
Hi folks I don't understand why it is possible to access a share on the samba server from a pc that hasn't a Trust Account on the samba server. All i do is to log in on the pc with a local login account (not in the domain). Then i can access the shares in the following way on the server: \\server\MyShare pc asks for username/password --> i login with a valid combination --> i get access to shares security level is set to user (not to shares!) Can anybody explain what's going on here? Thanks. Michael
