Dear All, Sorry about my poor english! I am using SAMBA 3.0.8 on Fedora Core 3 box. Otherwise, many winXP_pro_sp2 clients in my subnet. When I connect to my samba server (use windows nethood.) from one of clients. It prompted a window to authorize username and password. After given my username and password, I will saw my home directory and public directory very well. But~ the question happened! When I close the nethood's window with no opening file from samba server, and waiting more than 5 mins. I reconnect samba server, it doesn't prompt me the authorization window again except reboot or relogin. Why? What parameter I shoud add in my smb.conf for this security issue? Above is my smb.conf. **************************************************** [global] workgroup = BALI server string = Samba Server hosts allow = 127. 10.168.22.0/255.255.255.224 printcap name = /etc/printcap load printers = yes printing = cups cups options = raw log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log max log size = 1024 security = user encrypt passwords = yes smb passwd file = /etc/samba/smbpasswd unix password sync = Yes passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n *passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully* socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 interfaces = 10.168.22.1/27 local master = yes os level = 255 domain master = yes preferred master = yes wins support = yes dns proxy = no deadtime = 5 dos charset = CP950 unix charset = BIG5 hide dot files = yes #============================ Share Definitions ============================== idmap uid = 16777216-33554431 idmap gid = 16777216-33554431 template shell = /bin/false winbind use default domain = no [homes] comment = Home Directories browseable = no writable = yes valid users = %S hide dot files = yes [printers] comment = All Printers path = /var/spool/samba browseable = no guest ok = no writable = no printable = yes [public] path = /home/public public = no only guest = no writable = yes printable = no **************************************************** Thank you very much! -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
