Hi Steve, The situation I have here is... all PCs have a Windows login name in the format PTLUser* and on each there's a shortcut to the server (PTLServer) of the desktop. When the machine is first booted it logs straight in to windows using the PTLUser* and password. When the user double-clicks on the desktop shortcut to access the server they are then required to enter their unique Samba username and password. This opens up the windows showing the shares on the server (including their home folder) and they can then map as required. When finished, they can chose "disconnetc network drive" from several places and this will remove the mappings. Now, if another user comes along and double clicks on the desktop shortcut it assumes that they are the same user as previously asccessed the server and shows the previous user's folder as available.
Somewhere previous in this thread someone suggested using the "map network drive" - "Connect as different user" as an option but.... as opening the shortcut to the server only shows the previous user's home folder this does not seem possible ? Seems that Windows is remembering the username and passwrod somewhere so the only way I can find to clear this is to reboot or logoff users PTLUser* and start again. Sorry that was so long winded :-) Thanks Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aden, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 5:17 PM Subject: RE: [Samba] clients logout ............. Mike, How are you specifying the new login name? If using the map network drive gui, you would need to click the link that says "Connect using a different name" (different being other than the logged on user). If mapping with the net use command, you can specify a different user by doing something like this: "net use * \\server\share /user:domain\username *". The * at the end will cause the program to prompt for a password. If you connect via a UNC from the run box or explorer address bar, Windows will attempt to connect with the logged on user or if there is a current connection to the server, it will try to use the id in use by the other connection. You will not be able to connect with another userid until all connections to the server are disconnected. Windows will give you an error which say something about not allowing multiple connections to a server with different credentials.

Thanks Steve, I've just tried that but it doesn't work - the PC seems to remember the last login name and password and reconnects to the server as that user again :-( Mike ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aden, Steve" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 16, 2004 3:29 PM Subject: RE: [Samba] clients logout ............. You should be able to click Tools/Disconnect Network Drive from a Windows Explorer window, then select the connection to the Samba server and click ok. Note, this can be done even if the connection was not mapped to a drive letter, such as by typing \\server\share in the run box. You can then map a drive to the server with a different user account.
