I'm a newbie to this list, as I've hit a problem I cannot solve by googling around. I have a debian server which is setup for share level security, most of which are public. A couple of the shares are using user= to secure to only certain users, and users connect from xp/vista & os x I recently upgraded to samba 3.0.28a and all of a sudden the os x users are failing to authenticate to those secured shares - the non secured shares they can access fine. XP & Vista users can authenticate fine. If I change to user level security, then os x users can authenticate to those shares, but of course the other non-secured shares are inaccessible since they have no users to authenticate with. The failure occurs for both tiger & leopard users. What's changed ? Another query - if I make samba only allow ntlmv2 authentication, does this deny the use of share level security ? cheers Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
