[Samba] accessing samba shares from a winpc sometimes as a readonly user and sometimes with writing abilities
hello everyone. i am trying to setup samba and there is a whole lot of option in doing things.. so i got somewhat overloaded:) the idea is that i want in my home network to setup a file server running samba (its a slackware v11 machine) and have all my music/video/office files on the server.. now, from a windows side i know that when u log onto a pc you will probably be asked to input a passwd. it also gives you the option to 'save' that logon username and password so that you will not have to enter it everytime you try to log onto the shares.. what i was thinking and hoping to implement is a slightly more dynamic system, where for normal activity , ie listening to some music watching a video or smth i logon as a user that has no write priviledges... and if i want to save some files or to modify , i log on as a different user.. but windows do not give you the option to change this password once you have asked of them to 'remember' it. is there some way tha samba offers to persistently ask for a password when someone tries to save in a read only folder. is there some alternatively that does not work exactly like that but might work in similar manner? thank you in advance for your help nass
