Re: [Samba] Password problem
Quoting Willy Offermans wi...@offermans.rompen.nl: What do you mean with ``connect to the Samba server in the usual fashion''? Sorry for not being more specific. By the usual fashion I meant using smbpasswd to make an account on the server that has the same name, password and workgroup as on the workstation. Quoting Jaap Winius jwin...@umrk.nl: ... They said to fill in a name and password for the server every time we needed to access the Windows share. Luckily, this description is not accurate. I eventually discovered that I could map a network drive by making use of the Connect using a different user name option. It's stupid, but I thought Samba didn't support this and that it was always necessary to have a Samba account with the same name and password combination as the user's Windows account. That's simply not true. My wrong impression, formed many years ago, was based on that option's single limitation: it doesn't work when the user name of the Windows account is the same and only the password is different. It really does require that you Connect using a different user name. Doh! Quoting Jorell jore...@fastmail.net: Isn't there a check box on windows for mapping a network drive Connect using different credentials? This would have led me to the solution if I hadn't thought of it myself. Thanks very much! As for samba tricks, give the machine a static IP or a reserved IP and allow write access from only that IP? Already taken care of. Quoting Moray Henderson moray.hender...@ict-software.org: If you have access to the command prompt or the ability to create batch files, you could try net use commands. Good idea, but it looks like Esaote made sure those options are not available. Thanks for all your support!

I guess you want the XP client to be a member of the samba domain. Isn't it? For that, you need to have the rights on the XP client to make it a member of the samba domain (usually admin rights). Without these rights, it will be extremely hard to achieve your goal(s). -- Met vriendelijke groeten, With kind regards, Mit freundlichen Gruessen, Willy * W.K.

[Samba] Re: Samba password problem when in domain
Koen Vermeer k.vermeer at i-optics.net writes: In our network, I have set up a samba server in a workgroup. We're now migrating to a domain, using SBS 2003. When I locally login on XP and access the samba server, it works just fine. But, when I login on the domain and then try to access the same samba box, it doesn't accept my password. An extra observation: When I login on the domain as another user and then try to access the samba server as the original user, it does accept my password.
