Try forcing users to reboot the xp machines rather than just logging off. On 20 Jan 2003 Sebastian Schinzel wrote:
Hi everyone, i have set up a server with samba-2.2.3a-12 (Debian Woody) for a network that is shared with about 100 schools. There are about 50 Clients (WinXP) with only one local user. They are all in the same workgroup. The server has security=user and the about 100 usernames from the schools. So a kid from a given school logs into the Client with the local user (e.g. user=pc, pass=pc), but has to give a special (school-based) username and password if it wants to connect to the shares from the server (There is a link to \\server\ at the desktop). So far so good. Problem: 1. school1 logs into the server with username=school1, gets its /home/schoo1 on the server, does its work and logs out of the client 2. school2 logs into the same client, connects to the server with username=school2 and gets his own /home/school2 on the server and _also_ the /home/school1 from the previously logged in school1. school2 has then read/write access to school1! This just happens sometimes on some clients. I am not very experienced with samba, but I really dont understand, why this happens. Is this a known problem of xp, that it does remember username/password from any further logins, or is it my fault with a bad smb.conf? Is eventually the link to "\\server\" wrong? Should it better be something like "\\server\%u" ,or "\\server\~" ? Btw: I will convert the network in a domain, but it has to run with the workgroup for the next 2-3 weeks, so i hope you guys have an answer for this.
