Hello Dominic, thanks for your reply, I've now got a good fix for my problem (after hours of trial and error). I coded the following in my smb.conf file :-
[global] ... hosts allow = oplocks = Yes security = share [ts] comment = Tech support directory path = /information guest ok = yes guest only = yes browsable = no read only = yes force user = %U I created a Unix user with the same name as my network login as well as creating the user in the smbpasswd file. I can now map a drive to the ts share without being prompted for a password, if another network user tries to map a drive to the share and they have not been created as a Unix/Samba user they get an error. This is just what i want. If i've only got say Samba users user1, user2 and user3 set up on the Unix side then only these can map a drive without being prompted for a password. I set browsable = no just for extra security. ^**********************************************************************^ This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
