Hello I would like to move Samba shares from my debian onto an uhu (hungarian linux distro) The base things are ok, but there is a little problem when I try to reach shares from my winxp home. As the networking is missing from home version (no domain logon, etc, as it exists in pro version) samba should ask user:pass for each time (after rebooting or disconnecting). My debian works like that, but on my new server once I have typed the user:pass I have to use that login, I cannot change. On pro version there is a 'remember password' option, but in home version there isn't (as it is not implemented) I would like samba to ask user:pass from home version each time I try to connect to samba shares. (and act like my old debian) Any idea? -- regards, An-Dee mailto:an-dee@beos.hu
Samba won't ask if your username and password on the server are the same as what you logged on with. I believe this is Windows XP trying your current credentials before it asks for new ones. You may have to ask on a Windows XP forum if there is a way of disabling this.
