Re: [Samba] Windows XP connects as guest instead of letting me choosethe username / password

[remote]

Had the same thing happening to me a few days ago. In my case, the problem 
was that the WinXP login/password were not the same as the Linux/Samba 
login/password. However, this only happened when the security level of my 
Samba server was set to share. If you switch to security= user and have a 
SMB user for each Windows user, you can login with the usual login/password 
combination.
Since I am pretty new to this Samba stuff, you might wanna listen to more 
experienced guys though, anyway :)

Cheers,

I did have this problem. It has something to do with XP. at this time
i was unable to find the required MS documents but this is what I use
to circumvent the problem:
net use d: \\computername\sharename /user:usrname /password:urpasswd
/persistent:yes
i think this is the right syntax. if it is wrong please someone on the
group correct it for me.
i think you can put a modification of this in your
netlogon.bat/logon.bat so that it picks up each time you log on.

Hi,
I suspect this is more of a WinXP issue, but since it drives me mad,
I'll ask anyway.
What I want:
In Windows XP network neighborhood, select my samba server, select one
of the shares, then have a dialog asking me for the respective
Samba-username & -password to access the share.
What I get:
I get a dialog with the username "Guest", greyed out, asking me for a
password.
My question:
WHY does XP always assume I want to access the share as "Guest"? Can I
disable this behavior somehow?
What I tried:
- set requiresignorseal = 0 in XP registry
- set security to SHARE in smb.conf
- disabled XP simple file sharing
- registered the username/password combo with samba using smbpasswd
Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions? Thank you very much,
Sebastian
