No -- not that I know -- how do I check that? I have been sharing lots of files with other windows computers and have several drives mapped. When I don't have windows passwords, it always prompts me for my password and username.

On Windows XP Pro, are you using "Simple File Sharing"? I know that on a Windows network it forces all network connections to be "Guests".

As soon as I switch SAMBA option security=share , I have exactly the same problems like you, when trying to access a SAMBA share via Windows "Add Network Places" The only option I have to logon is DOOMIT\Guets (DOOMIT is the NetBIOS Name of my samba server). HOWEVER: There *aren't any* problems, if I try to map the share as network drive (via Win explorer) when SAMBA option security=share. In Windows Explorer Menu: Tools->Map Network Drive Click on the "Connect using different user name" and enter a valid SAMBA user name and password. Then enter the network path to the share in the "Folder" Field of the "Map Network Drive" Dialog click finish and that's it. BUT: Things are different when SAMBA option security=user. Then I do *not* have any problems to access the share via "add network places". Here a login-dialog is displayed where you can enter a user name and password. Mapping network drive via Windows Explorer also works w/o any problem. BTW: I think that in your smb.conf there might by a error: from your posting of smb.conf you have valid users = tim chrissy however, according to the on-line documentation, names in the valid user parameter have to be separated by comma (,) So it should be valid users = tim, chrissy I hope this helps!

Perhaps a developer should take a look on this!! >>Thanks, but I am still having the same problem -- I made sure to reference >>the correct passwd file, but WinXP is still forcing me to logon as >>AGAMEMNON\Guest. >> >>Tim >>Subject: SOME Suggestions on [Samba] Can't the very basic stuff to work >>Hello Tim, >>I have read your posting on the samba mailing list. >>I suggest that you put following lines in your >>smb.conf >> >>encrypt password = yes >>smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd >>passwd program = /bin/passwd %u >>CAUTION: The above paths to the smbpasswd and passwd file >>are related to my system.
