I'd suggest moving to security = user unless you can explain exactly why you need security = share. Security = share is just not well suited for cases where you want to provide authorization based on username/password pairs. jerry ===================================================================== Samba ------- http://www.samba.org Centeris ----------- http://www.centeris.com "What man is a man who does not make the world better?" --Balian -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.4 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE/MOkIR7qMdg1EfYRAm5WAJ9mljhK1uS8sqUkBZ6E+B10wgUaqACff2tn j6yNGi+IMnf4hQObUX8S83U= =U1lc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
