Hi, I can't figure out how to use the passwords correctly. I have attached the smb.conf and user.map so you can see what I'm doing. In the example, Harry is user on the NT server who wants a private space on the HP3000. he wants to access it from his Win98 Explorer. When I try to make a Connexion to a remote disc under Win98 the connexion to HARRYS requires a password. So far so good ... Harry types in his NT password but it is refused. The connexion to Sambalib is working OK but it is " guest ok = yes" and -as far as I can understand - not password protected. What am I doing wrong ? TIA Seamus ------smb.conf------------ [global] security = server password server = NTSERVERNAME interfaces = 123.456.789.123/255.255.255.0 ... guest account = mgr.samba [HARRYS] comment = Harrys File Space on the HP3000 guest ok = no write ok = yes path = /ACCOUNT/HARRYS browseable = yes available= yes [SambaLib] comment = Shared space with all users forced to guest guest ok = yes write ok = yes path = /usr/local/samba/lib browseable = yes available= yes -------user.map------------------- MGR.SAMBA = Harry MGR.PARTAGE = Harry
