Craig Thanks for the info. I added security = user and I still get a password prompt when I logout and login. --- Forgetting your smb.conf file for a second, there's a lot of little Windows details that figure into this. I am assuming that each person doesn't log in to their individual computer as psadmin whatever user name and password they use to log on to their computer would then be the default credentials and password supplied to any server they attempt to connect to. This is why a typical networking setup would have each individual user with his own username and password, and the use of 'groups' to collect individual users and give them (or deny them) access to resources such as a file share based upon whether they belong to a group or not. One of the main purposes of a windows domain is to create the single point of username/password login and the domain controller then provides the authentication to requested resources. It really seems as though you want all of that. Craig -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Is there a way user abc can log into the psadmin share every time without having to re-enter the password? You can do this with windows xp; I don't know about other versions of windows. From the control panel click on User Accounts. Chose a user. In the related task box there is an option called Manage my network passwords. From this box you can setup arbitrary server/username/password combinations. I don't know of another way to this menu, but I'm sure there are. Its the Stored Username and Passwords manager.

Here's a copy of my smb.conf file: #=== Global Settings = [global] # workgroup = NT-Domain-Name or Workgroup-Name workgroup = APOLLOGROUP # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field server string = samba server # This option is important for security.
