I wish this was the case Chris. Win/XP presents a login box that requests userid and password. Here are a couple of the cases I have tried:
(1) If I enter userid Only, I gain full access to the share without Ever entering a password (2) If I enter userid and samba password, the combination is rejected and the share is not visible This is not consistent with "the user authenticates with the server" as the user Can't Even Enter the password. See what I mean? Thanks!

It's more than that - the user authenticates with the server and is now allowed access to all shares the user has proper permissions for. -- Chris -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
