Hi all, In continuing of previous problems, I've noticed some potential problems with force user / force group and Windows XP Professional.
I'm not exactly sure why or how, but it appears that XP picks up the fact that it's being connected as the forced user (smbguest), and continues trying to authenticate to other services/shares as that user (smbugest). I'm not sure if this carry-over is being done in XP or in Samba or in their interaction, but I know it's happening. Every other service on the samba server has user smbguest as an invalid user, so once a machine authenticated to the forced user service, it lost connections to all other services. I have since changed configuration, and it all /seems/ to be working at this point. Just wondering if others can comment/confirm/deny the above? - Damian -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
