I would like to validate against the "collective" that the following points are true (or not).
This is Suse 9.0 with SP1 with Samba 3.0. In order for a windows workstation (win2000) to be able to use Samba (via Net Use in this case), the windows signon (say 'tommy') must be added to Linux as a Linux user, Samba share and in the SMBPASSWD file (using smbpasswd as the backend, no LDAP etc, yet). Once the user is added, the user doesn't have to do a net use for its own share, but can directly do a net use for someone else's share (if the user knows the password of the share as defined in smbpasswd). It seems like that is what happening. I guess that is ok if it is. But I hate adding in all these Linux users, Samba shares, and SMBPASSWD updates for a bunch of users, just so they can use Samba. Especially adding them in as Linux users. I can see adding in Samba shares for each Windows user that points to a directory, in which case, the Net Use will not ask for a password (Win2000 username = Samba Share name)... Just trying to stream line this process so we don't have a lot of extra work adding in users, or maintaining them. thanks Tom Duerbusch THD Consulting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
