samba - Aug 2005 - 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

Hi Michael,
It sound like you are not using winbind.  See the Handling of Foreign 
SIDs section of Chapter 23 in the how to for more info.
