Hi,
thank you for the answers, sorry for the delay. Here's what I think:
Ganeshram: your solution would require me to hardcode the password/username combination into Windows XP. I would like to double-click a share and enter the respective password and username on-the-fly.
Joerg: I do not want to have a Windows user for each SMB user (or vice versa). I have quite a few SMB users, whose shares I access from one single account on an XP box. Thus, security=user is not an option for me.
I am pretty sure this is just a registry tweak / uncheck-a-checkbox / set-a-config-parameter problem. I had the same thing working on Win2k. So if anybody has done this, please help. Regards,
Sebastian

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,
Jörg

choosethe username / password
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. Ganesh

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
