samba - Jul 2011 - How to disable password caching in windows client

Hi,

I want to input user name and password every time I access the share, so I
want to disable password caching in windows client. I google to find there
is a way to modify the windows registry. But it does not work on windows
2003. Is there another way to disable password caching in winXP, win7, 2003
and 2008?

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network\DisablePwdCaching
= 1

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Network?\DisablePwdCaching
= 1

If you run gpedit.msc or secpol.msc
      Security Settings - > Local Policies -> Security Option-> 
Interactive Logons: Number of Previous Logons to cache:
     Default value  is 10.
     If you change it to 0 it should NOT cache any logons.  That is the 
theory-  I haven't tested it tho.

There should be a corresponding registry entry.

Windows automatically sends the current logon user's name and auth
information, it's by design of Windows.

If the user's name and password to access the share are different from
the current logon user's ones, you can input your user's name and
password every time to explicitly disconnect from the share using "net
use /d" command or "net session \\computername /delete" on
Windows.

Anyway it's the matter about Windows' behavior.
