I am using samba 2.2.7, configured with winbind, connected to a domain. I have publically shared printers that are done via user map. I also have many shares that I need to authenticate for, due to access rights.
With one of the printers installed on my XP laptop, if I try to connect to a share, but inputting my "DOMAIN\user" and "password" I get the following error:
"Multiple connections to a server or shared resource by the same user, using more than one user name, not allowed."
I have read that Windows will not allow you to connect to samba with more than one username, and since the printer share is mapped to a fake user, then it counts that as one username. Parts of my smb.conf is below:

########################endI have the "map to guest" and "guest account" so the printers can be publically used without authentication. Then using a DOMAIN\username (that I can see authenticating on the PDC, I get the error I stated above. Is there any workaround to this?
thanks, stephen
